Pre op diet and short fuse?

Has anyone else noticed they are dead tired and have a very short fuse while on pre-op???? Today is day 7 and if you have been near me, looked at me, or if I think you looked at me I'm grumpy. No it's not PMS. Worse.

I definitely had that when I was on the pre-op diet! I was just so hungry a good deal of the time, I think it's nearly impossible not to get grumpy! Hang in there though - you'll make it, and it'll be worth it! :)

This is why I took the week after surgery as a vacation. I knew that I would be a bear on a liquid diet, and my doc's protocol called for a full week of clear liquids post-op. Thankfully - nobody got hurt, I had plenty of time to adjust and by the time the week was over, so was my grumpiness. Never has a protein shake been so appreciated as when the doc said "Stage 2 for you!".

I notice that I am very tired...and maybe a little snappy but I am trying hard to take in this experience with some level of excitement so I dont get fearful.
