I am about 5 days into my pre-op low carb high protein diet and I'm having a lot of issues......I am doing pretty well diet wise, I know I need to add in a protein shake or two and up my wAter intake. My issue is ever since I started it my attitude/anger has gone through the roof!!! Everything is making me snap and it's really making my life difficult and I am pushing my hubby away when all he has done up to this point is be supportive!! I am very frustrated. Anyone have any advice or experiencing this themselves??

Lol. It's your hormones and you changing your diet. It will pass. My doc warned me about it when I was on my pre-op diet too. Just consider these next two weeks an extended period of PMS and your husband will understand. It's very common to be snappish during this time.

I've heard it is normal but thankfully, I didn't get that way. I've also heard that it will pass. Hang in there and remember that this is only temporary. You can do it and you will make it through it.

You might be hungry. I ate more meat. Chicken. N dinner 2 days before my sleeve I had my favorite meal. In monterey ca. Chipino. I didn't eat the bread. It was so good. All that seafood. Mmmm. Don't b hard on yourself. You got the rest of your life not to be able to eat much. I lost 9 lbs on my 2 week diet but I didn't stick ti diet very well

Thanks ladies!!! My surgeon wants me to lose 25lbs before surgery and right now I'm down 8lbs since 7/2. I'm really trying hard and I pretty much went cold turkey with carbs.....I haven't been allowing myself very much since I saw my nutritionist last wed. I have to stay away from all the things I was eating because if I don't get that "taste" in my mouth then I don't get the craving for it (if that makes sense). I think a lot of it is that I'm not eating as much as I guess I could be and also I feel like I'm the only one that is changing and no matter how supportive my hubby is in my mind I feel like he's not doing enough because he's not "changing" too. So maybe I have to give myself more mental space/time to adjust to everything that's going on. I'm getting sleeved in September and most times I feel like I just wanna get this all over with so I can be in the "recovery" stage and move on with my life . Maybe it's just a pity party day!!! LOL
