I need to vent about this sucky pre op diet

[lwilliams65 102]

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!! This sucks. I want this surgey because I SUCK at diets and I'm always hungry so why do I have to diet before I go..ugh. I have a wicked headache, feel like I'm gonna vomit and I'm starrrrrving. 2 Protein Shakes and a salad for 10 days... I'm probably going to die. Why can't I just eat salad for every meal and 86 the Protein shakes. Protein shakes do not make me full at all, not to mention they taste gross unless I can mix it with milk which I can't. I might be the biggest cry baby ever but at this point, I don't care I just want my stomach cut out so I won't be hungry all the time. And I can assure you this is not head hunger, this is down right starvation. At least I feel better since I got to whine about it

Can you try another brand of Protein Shakes?

Would it make you feel better to say it gets worse?

Oh!! I mean better!

But I hated the pre op diet!! That is until 1 day after surgery.... Then I would of done anything to go back to the pre op diet! It was so easy!

So now that I've scared the **** out if you, let me say it is hard but you will make it and three months from now you will look back at this and be so happy that you went through all of this

We I read all these post about the pre-op diet I get nervous because I was put on the 40 grams of carbs - 1500 calories or less per day for two weeks. Which seems different than most. Basically they told me the Atkins Diet Phase I. So I am eating eggs, bacon, beef, pork, chicken etc. So when I see most sleevers are on these diets and my BMI is much higher it really makes me nervous. I have triple checked with my doctors office and they say I am fine. My surgery is on the 19th in a few days and nervous because of the diet is the understatement. I don't want to do anything to mess it up. Good Luck! PS: The headache will stop in a few days.

thaaanks that makes me feel so much better lmao. Right now, I would kill for some gas pain and nasea (idk how to spell that) like i dont even care... anything except this stupid headache and being hungry as hell. It's only 2pm and I already had both my shakes, choked them down by the way. I feel like im being so negative but seriously this blows.I don't understand how anybody has made it through a pre op diet... im thinkin im cool if there is fat around my liver, just cut that out while your in there
