September 10, 201213 yr I started my pre-op diet today and I am starving... I'm pretty sure that I have the worst hunger headache right now!!! I just keep thinking that this too shall pace... Enjoy those last meals!!
September 10, 201213 yr It's ok!!! We'll make it through!!! It will all be worth it 2 weeks from now!!! I gotta focus on the big picture
September 10, 201213 yr You will all make it through! Not gonna lie, that pre op diet sucked HARD. I totally feel your pain lol. Good luck, you got this!
September 10, 201213 yr Thanks for the encouragement Mel!! Cause right now I am sooo hungry! Does it get any easier? Did you have headaches?
September 10, 201213 yr Lol here is how my pre op diet went: day 1, threw up. Day 2, had the poos. Awful headache for like three or for days in a row. Sucked. the hunger part does go away for the most part after the third day or so, but it's the "wanting" food that didn't go away for me. It was all I thought about. The thing that helped me the most was meditating. Which sounds corny and ridiculous, but I needed to take a step back, breathe, and be like "calm down, it is not the end of the world, you will get to eat again, your fine." Lol. Letting go of such a huge habit is HARD. So try and relax, what you are trying to do is hard as hell, be firm, but gentle with yourself.
