Starving

You've got three days to go.  You CAN do this.  Think of all the many thousands of post-ops that have done it.  You can too.  There are some bariatric programs that put their pre-ops on much longer liquid diets.  This surgery is going to allow you to be healthy and not weighed down like we are pre-op.  

Check out the areas on OH such as the Before/After photos, the Photos, this message board and others, update your blog so you can look back and see how it was pre-op.  Keep yourself distracted and busy.

You've got this!  

For most of us, day 3 was the worst. Drink lots of water and keep moving. You will hit what's called  'ketosis'  and things WILL get better. Hang in there, you are SOOOOO close

In my personal experience I had to drink 4 ounces of OJ diluted with water. I wasnt getting enough complex carbs and my body was NOT liking it. I felt better and only had to do it once. Maybe it will help you. 

Chewing sugar free popsicles helped me.

Broth really helped me when i get lightheaded.  Lots of protein drinks are really low in salt, and that temporarily may affect out blood pressure (get it lower than our body is used to) 

Chicken broth really worked well for me. Still does. 

Thank you all so much for the kind and helpful responses. Day 3 is a little easier so far! I hope that you all are having a blessed day

You can do it! I had a hard time too. I started my liquid diet after my brother unexpectedly died. And let me tell you, all I wanted to do was comfort eat and cry. But I stuck to it because I kept my mind on how short our time on this earth is and I don't want to spend the rest of my time being in pain, being overweight, and not experiencing life as fully as I desire to. Will power will help get you there. 

And the one thing that helped me was keeping my protein shakes coming through out the day. That is what saved me - it keep me full and not craving all the carbs everyone in my family was eating around me.

You can do it! Good luck!
