Grumpy

Is or did anyone become grumpy during their pre opt diet? I am two weeks in a four week diet and starving. I was on a diet before starting this diet. But with it I got 2 meals and stayed satisfied. And ate between 800 and 1000 calories a day. Now I only get around 500 calories and I feel like I'm not losing as much with this diet as the last. I'm also a little resentful of those who can eat normal. Is this normal? I know I need to get use to it. I'm just a baby.

Oh Katie, I have to do 2 weeks.... Can't imagine doing 4 weeks! Stay strong! Remember why we are doing this and focus what our life will be when we are healthier! We can do this! :)

I was grumpy then until 3 months later. I wasn't a ball of sunshine for a while lol

I am also on the pre op diet of one meal and two shakes a day and let me tell you it's not that easy for me either. I'm very thankful I didn't have to do 2 weeks of liquids like some have to. Sometimes, especially when I'm stressed all I wanna do is eat a huge meal of something bad for me but I just keep telling myself it's going to be so worth it. Hang in there! We can do this!

I'm on Day 4 of pre-op and have a constant low grade headache as well as hungry all the time. Yeah, I'm pretty short with everyone.

I am on my last day of the two week liquid with surgery tomorrow. I was hungry but drank lots of liquid. I didn't cheat once. A little impatient but after a couple days I was able to handle it. If I can do this, so can you. Plus people notice the weight loss. Stay positive and active. If you rest too much you think about food. Good luck

I have 7 days of liquids. I read that Chinese medicine teaches that anger, hostility, and resentment are stored in the liver, so those feelings mean that we are doing things right! It may all be BS, but it helped me get through the day, so maybe it will help you too :)
