Oh God, I am starving !!!

[angelpie]

Started my pre op diet today and have also stopped smoking today as well.
I am taking 6 steroids a day at the moment and i have never been so hungry in my life.
I dont think I will see the day out feeling like this, I am so depressed, I will eat the dogs soon . HELP:sigh::sigh::sigh:

try drinking lots of fluids to fill you up that should stop you over eating or have fruit or even chew gum? this might help. You probably feel more hungry as you have quit smoking, good luck with it all hun xxx

I have to, its soooo hard, my fingernails look like a 3 course meal at the mo, but there’s no way im going to go through a week in hospital, all that worry, to find they cant do the bypass. Keep focused, one day at a time, don’t look at it as 2 weeks. Conquer today and feel great that you’ve managed it and then start again tomorrow. YOU CAN DO IT.

I'm the same at the minute. Sooooo hungry all the time especially at work (which is where I nibble the most). I've been eating carrots, apples and drinking lots of fruit teas in an effort to stave off the hunger.

It's very difficult, I gave up smoking and drinking 2 months before my op. There's no easy answer I'm afraid. You need to focus on the goal. I made a list of thing's I wanted to do when I was thinner, different tasks at different stages of weight loss (goals). I used them to help me when I was struggling. xx

I have never been a smoker, but I can imagine its very difficult to kick the habbit, so I am not sure if quitting at the same time as your pre Op diet is a good thing, but well done to you.
keep fighting the hunger, you can do it.
