Did The Preop Diet Make You Feel Like A Bear?!?

Day 4 preop diet and I realize I am so grouchy. Everything gets on my nerves. Is this temporary or am I the only one who feels like they are super edgy? I so want this surgery but I don't want to feel like I'm turning into a grouchy B because of it! :-(

Me too! I'm just hungry so I'm really praying I'm not as hungry after I'm sleeved. I just fixed my kids dinner and my head is POUNDING! I'm thinking I'll be pretty happy to finally get knocked out for a few hours on Wednesday morning!

I am so hungry and this is my first day I'm just so glad i only have two more day but I just keep drinking my fluid and then I wonder why I just didnt pig out yesterday last night like it was my last supper lol

Drink some hot bullion that will help with those grumpy hunger pains and attitude! Well it did for me anyway!

Thanks. So will I !

I'm on day 5 of my pre-op, surgery is in 4 days.

I've been super duper tired. And weak. I worked this week, but I have a desk job, so it was ok. I always saved my last Protein shake of the day until I got home. Walking the 6 block to my car just wiped me out. Then driving, my arms just felt so stinkin heavy.

My husband has been great, he would take care of the kids and get them supper while I laid down for half an hour every day after work. Last night, though, he was really tired, so I gave the kids their baths. I was totally dead after that. Just so weak.

I know that feeling! Every muscle in my body feels weak! Just lifting my purse feel like a huge task. I've been on the liquid diet for 11 days and it really has made me weak. I'll be so glad when i get the surgery done and get to have creamy soup! I have 6 more days to surgery. Good luck!!

Head hunger was an issue for me after surgery - I had only a 2 day preop diet but now I am 2 weeks into my 3 week clear liquid diet so believe me.....I feel your pain! My brain still wants to eat sometimes, but I have zero hunger sensation from my new tummy - its very cool! I have my moments each day and it hasn't been easy, but you can do it!!! Feel free to inbox me with any questions - :)
