I'm starving and the commercials on tv are not helping, food, food, food everywhere. I want some Pizza Hut, omgggg. My stomach is grumbling and bubbling and whatever else it does, I AM HUNGRY. I'm on my pre op liquid diet as of today I dont think I can make it. My head is pounding and I feel so weak and icky. How do I make it through this week?????

Thanks, Kerry

For pre op they told me 20 grams of protein a day of course my protein supplement is 25 and they said thats fine. I actually just drank it and I feel a lil better. I haven't seen anyone say anything about this one I got but it's by Twin Labs 100% whey protein Fuel chocolate surge. It is pretty dang good and I used water. Hope I still like it after surgery lol My son was using ON 100% whey Gold Standard double rich chocolate. I tried that and had to choke it down with water it tasted like chocolate water blehhhhh lol Kerry

Are you sure it's 20 grams per DAY? And not protein with at least 20 grams per SERVING? My surgeon wanted every pre-op to take AT LEAST 80 grams per day (I routinely ate 120++ while on low-carb diet) as adequate protein helps healing.

The first 3 days are kind of tough ... then it will get better. Just hang in there ... it will all be worth it.

Thank you. This first day is bad and the heat outside and all the food commercials on tv don't help lol I guess I am luckier than some since mine is only a week while I see others doing 2-3 weeks. Kerry

If you can, don't want TV :) Read a book, go for a walk, rent a movie...

I was having a couple protein shakes a day even before I was on liquids so that I wouldn't binge. Maybe check with your dr. to see if you can have more than what you're having, and make them thick. Good luck!

Edited to add: I mean don't watch TV, of course. Maybe that was Freudian though :)

My dr's office said that once I did my 3 days of clear liquids, that I would probably do like 5 shakes each day. One day I did two but normally only had one. I kept very busy and ate only when I was truly hungry. I would try to put off eating as long as possible. I never thought I could do it but it got easier!
