Starting Pre-op diet

Jun 29, 2011

Hey everyone,
Just figured I'd check in, since its been a while since I posted anything on here. So today I officially started my  pre-op diet. I tried starting it on monday to get the hang of it, and I did good until dinner time and by then I was starving. So I decided to go a head and wait until my doctor ordered start date. I have to tell you when you cannot have real food, everything looks good and it seems like you get hungry way more often.
For instance, a normal day I may only get hungry around lunch time, so I normally eat a nice size lunch and I'm good the rest of the day. But mentally knowing that I cannot eat certain things and that I can only have 2 protein shakes, 3 medium sized fruits, 3/4c of veggies and liquids, has made me extremely hungry. So far I have had a protein shake, and 2 medium sized fruits, and 2 sugar free jellos and its 4:30 and I feel as though i am starving; not just in my head but my stomach is literally crying.
I would say I can't wait for these 2 weeks to be up, but then I won't even be able to eat! 
Well wish me luck cause I'm gonna need it, especially with the 4th coming up and the smell of BBQ in the air.
