Well it is day 2 of my 14 day preop diet and I have managed to bite the heads off several

Coworkers and one family member! Hope it eases soon.. Don't like this feeling.. Come on July 9th!!! Anybody else real cranky doing the preop diet?

Mine was short (2 days total) so no, I wasn't terribly cranky... I just sort of took my Jello & iced tea in stride.

But yes, crankiness is fairly common. It should get better shortly (sooner than the full 2 weeks).

Yup, I'm on day two also. But this is my second round. My first surgery was cancelled when I was given steroids before my surgery. Long story. Yesterday I was not a happy camper. But when I weighed this morning, my stall was broken and I was down 2.8 pounds! I'm in a much better mood today. I know from the last round this does work as far as weight loss. At the end I was ready to choke my husband, but that was the end so it was ok. We can do this!!! We will succeed

P.S. I work at home so it's easier for me to avoid face to face contact during the day.

Oh you betcha!! The caffeine detox alone endangered several lives!! I had a meltdown around day 10 from what I remember....then i've been ok ever since. Just went numb.

i cried almost everyday on the pre-op diet. It was hard!!!! but so worth it. you can do it!!

Normally being pissy. You have cut off a lot of sweets, carbs, fat and all of the addictions your body is so used to getting. Of course the hormones are raging and fighting back. Literally.

I felt your pain, mine was over Labor Day weekend without all that "good" food. Hang in there.

A cure - I hid in my room or bathtub with a good book. At work I limited my interaction with others. When I normally socialized, I went out to my car. Told others I "had a few things to take care of...." Oh, I cried a lot too.

You will look back and realize that these few weeks of torture are so worth it and you would go through it again for the miracle of the sleeve. I have no regrets and love my sleeve.

Hugs.

I'm on day six of my pre op and I find it has gotten easier thank god!!

Cranky is an understatement for me. I made a post about irritability and frustration and today is day five and I actually feel so much better. I guess it's true, it gets better about day 5. Hang in there
