Pre Op Liquid Diet

Today is day two of my 2 week pre op liquid diet and I feel like 1) I'm starving 2) very weak and 3) my brain has stopped working. I did ok yesterday during the day time, but I attribute that to the 5 hours I spent in the hospital for my pre surgery testing - couldn't leave the waiting room hence couldn't get any food or water etc. Today is a different story. I went to get some more pre op diet and post op diet items as I'll be traveling for work until about 3 days prior to my surgery. Anyway so here I am going up and down the aisle as the super walmart near by and my strength is waining. Aisle after aisle of stuff I would love to have right now and here I am picking up slim fast, chicken broth and sugar free jello. It was very very tough. But I made it out of there surprisingly with only one contraband item - tostidos minis. I don't even like chips but I needed to feel something with texture (and not chalky) and in my sick little brain I thought seems how I don't really like chips that I'll only have a few. I was amazingly correct - I had only 6-7 chips and while I figured this couldn't be that bad as say making a fat steak or sticking my head in a trough of cookie dough but I know it wasn't the brightest idea either. Day two I'm turning into a nut job. I also feel very weak and tired and scared I won't make it.
