I am not in that stage of pre-op fasting but I would highly advise against taking any diet pill supplements during your fast. You don't want to be taking any diet supplements and they cause some problems for you prior to surgery and after. You have to remember they will still be in your system during surgery and you have no clue as to where thoes pills will affect you. Please be very careful with that. Do you have a strong support system? Are their a certain amount of Carnation Instant Breakfast drinks you are allowed to drink? I mean if you still feeling that hungry urge could you just drink another Carnation Instant drink to fill you up so you are full. Try to remember this word when you are fightting hunger or thee desire to eat.
HALT
H-hungry
Never let yourself get to HUNGRY. Of course when we let this happen this is when ever food is up for grabs. We become more open to whatever is around us to snack on.
A-angry
Try and not get ANGRY or upset. We all eat most of the time out of comfort, so try to keep negative people away from you. Find some you time where you can do something relaxing.
L-lonely
Whenever we are alone we also tend to eat more. Find your support person to keep you company our just get out of the house, even if its just to stand out side.
T-tired
Never let yourself get to TIRED and you haven't nourshished your body. When you are to TIRED we pretty much will settle for anything to eat.
I hope this helps.. If not you can just e-mail me and we can e-mail eachother back and forth. God Bless
