Pre op diet

I was nervous for the pre op diet. I was very prepared. Ordered everything, went shopping days before. I did great! The first two days were hard, getting hunger headaches but after that I felt fine. I had energy and was never hungry. I had always heard protein would keep you full but I didn't believe it. I just never did enough protein. Taking in over 100 grams of it will keep you full! So I didn't feel like I was missing out on much. Then I started pmsing. I remember it was a Sunday, and I had the worst craving for pizza! I never smelled it or saw any, but that was all I could think about. I texted a few of my support people. My mom said "no you can't". I just laughed and said, "well I could but it would be more helpful to tell me why I should choose not to and remind me what I'm working towards". Then I texted my friend Liz. I loved her response! She told me pizza is yucky and that I didn't really want that! Another friend told me to imagine it with something I hate on top of it. So I imagined it with mushrooms. That pretty much did the trick. After that day I was pretty much good to go. I finished off the last week great! I was grateful to start and end my period before surgery.
