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 B)

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

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.

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 ;)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
