Tell me it gets easier... I have a headache from the lack of caffeine and hunger. Only ten more days to go.
It does get easier. If you are feeling hungry try broth. That helped me think I was eating. Also sugar free popsicles. It does get easier.
The low fat cream of chicken soup helped me a lot. I also put some fat free retried beans and chicken broth in a blender and made "soup". That was actually really good during the liquid phase. It does get easier. I promise.
one of my most important suggestions is to ween yourself off caffeine BEFORE starting the pre op diet.

My surgeon is ok with one cup of coffee a day post op wish I understood why I can't have it preop. Thank you though...

That was actually really good during the liquid phase. It does get easier. I promise. I wish I could have soup... my pre-op diet is 4 protein shakes a day and clear liquids only. It has gotten better though. I am on day 10 and I think my stomach shrunk or at least my appetite has.

Thank you for the suggestion. I am now on day 10 and you are right I am not feeling tortured anymore. I can't believe I made it without cheating!! 5 days until surgery.
