    Today is my first day on the pre op diet, Im feeling hungry and just wish i could sleep the next fews days away till this passes (kinda hard with a 4 month old and 5 year old lol) How long into your pre op diets did you start to feel better?

    Mine starts tomorrow. I too worry about the hunger....I have a big appetite. Have you tried adding fiber? I bought some to add to my shakes.

    It does get better after a few days into it...add a piece of fruit if you need to or a 3rd shake

    The preop diet is the worst part of the whole process! It'll get better... Drink an extra flavored water or something tiny, I had a handful of popcorn 2 days before surgery... I turned out Ok

    The Pre-op diet is to help reduce the fat around your liver, making it easier to get to your stomach. The most important part is the clear liquid stages. Think of it as a practice for just after surgery. You won't be able to eat solid foods for a few weeks, nor will you really feel like eating them. Hang in there. The salad can be split between lunch and dinner, if necessary. Just keep positive, things are going to change quickly very soon! GOOD LUCK!!!

    I have found if i drag my shake out per say and make it last aprox an hour or 1 and half hours to drink it and lots of water in between I've not been hungry much. My main hunger hits when I'm at home for the night. But I've been taking advantage of a good salad every night... But I did get tired of salads and opted for a can of green beans a night or two. The hunger pains go away after a day or two and I think it's more head hunger than anything

    I got $250 American and paid like $30 for the exchange. Not too bad but the CAD Dollar is low. I can hardly wait till I go! Today has been a rough pre-op diet day. I feel dizzy and hungry.

    Do we need to convert our money, or will our American money work for tips?
