VSG on December 21 3rd day of liquid diet Help!
I'm right with you time-wise - surgery on the 21st and finishing the 3rd day of the liquid pre-op diet. And I feel similarly - I get the pounding headaches at night (like from 6PM on). My focus and attention have been for crap the last day and a half. One thing I know is I'm NOT hungry - at work, there are tons of goodies around, and I still eat lunch with people who today were munching on pizza - and it doesn't faze me at all.
I saw you're allowed the sugar free applesauce... that's not on my list, but Cream of Wheat is. There are a few more carbs in that (17g) and I get it once a day. The low calorie Gatorade (G2) has also been really helpful. Not sure if that's because of electrolytes or because it's just really tasty. Good luck to you - we've only got 11 more days to go!!

What a helpful group you all are! thanks! I think I am allowed the Cream of Wheat, I will look, that may help. I am drinking tons of fluid. I wish I was not hungry, but I am. I am hoping that subsides in the next few days. I am proud of myself for not cheating at all, though. I have my goal in mind and I am staying strong! I knew this wouldn't be too easy...
