I'm going for the sleeve next Tuesday and started the pre-op diet today. I feel terrible, I've had a headache and have been anxious all day. I guess I never realized how addicted to food I am/was.

Hi! I have to start my pre op diet Thursday, and I am NOT looking forward to it! I downloaded this app to try to find help and support from other fat people who understand lol

Lol good luck. I have been trying to sub one meal with a protein shake a day. I had a hard time finding one I like. When I finally did I found out because of the vitamins in it I can't use it this week bc the vitamin e will thin my blood so I wound up ordering unjury which is my 2nd favorite. Unfortunately until it comes I'm stuck with this other one which I pretty much hate lol. I did find putting some cinnamon helped me to be able to choke it down lol.

What??? Vit E??? I hadn't heard I should worry about it thinning my blood? Is this because of

medication you take, or in general for pre-surgery peeps like me?

When I spoke to the nurse to go over what to do this week she said to stop taking my multivitamin bc the vitamin e thins your blood.

I just had plastic surgery and had to stop all vitamins, green tea, aspirin, blood thinners 2 weeks before surgery.
