So day 2 pre op diet

I modified my diet so I didn't go cold turkey

I did one Protein Shake a day for last 10 days or so. Lost 14 pounds. Not bad. Feel great. No loss of energy.

Yesterday was day 1 2 shakes. Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch. I didn't do enough Water

Sensible dinner was actually vegetarian

I noticed at the end of day I was really agitated I mean downright edge of insanity. I had a very stressful day at work and blamed it there

Today I am having moderate workday but it's 2 pm and I am ready to rip people into 50,000 pieces. I am so sick of bs

I just want to punch someone in the face.

Oh my flipping lord!

And the back pain from losing 14 pounds in last 10 days is excruciating I can't find a comfortable sitting standing or laying position. And the stress is making it worse.

No loss of energy. No headaches. Just really pissed off, a little hungry not a lot, and ugh!!!!

I am gonna go take a Xanax Like seriously.

Not expecting this

My surgeons only requirement for pre op diet was no carbs or sugar. We could eat our fill of meat, cheese and nuts.

He didn't want us to lose weight but to shrink our liver to make access to our stomach easier.

I still got irritated though because I couldn't have any comfort foods like potatoes or bread. When you rely on food to put you in a better mood, this is the result. I found that out the hard way. Me and my poor family did.

You will have a stronger and probably earlier pms. Just in case that's the issue :-)

I know i was a little cracky during my 10 days of liquids pre-op.... My doc allowed me to have 1/2cup of raw carrots, celery, and umm something else... and 2 oz of chicken (nothing on it - no salt no seasonings) a day...

Your hormones are out of control. Happens to almost everyone. It will go away.

I am also on day 2 of my pre op diet. I get 3 Premier Protein shakes and either a lean cuisine, weight watchers, or healthy choice meal. I cannot exceed 870 calories a day. I am also agitated. I am hungry not hurting hungry but want something to eat. I have a headache and am tired. I have to do mine for 2 weeks and 2 days.

Yep I can have 3 shakes a day and small meal at night

Raw veggies throughout the day

Omg pms. It's day 2 of my period

Im on day 6 of pre op I get 3 or 4 Protein Shakes called Chike a day. If Im really hungry I can have chicken or beef broth only. I can also have all of the SF popcycles I want. So far I have been ok. I hope the next 10 days are like this.

Same here...except I'm on day 2 I'm dying I think.

Right up front - I'm not a Dr! I found it strange that you has excruciating back after you lost weight. Mine felt better - could it be kidney pain? Have you been drinking enough water? Kidney pain made me angry at the world....... Just thoughts I'm sharing :-) good luck.

You are hangry. It will pass.

No not kidneys - definitely back pain and lots of it

When I was pregnant I would get sciatica pain as my weight changed and it almost feels like that. My leg is getting tingles and shooting pains down it from my back.

Let's hope it does

Yesterday I was starving.

And by the time 3 rolled around there were no angry issues but sure as heck sleepy. Practically passed out

Just remember that your body is detoxing. You are getting all the sugar out, caffeine etc. That can be like a drug addict coming down off drugs. I did caffeine and sugar at the same time about 8 years ago and I had the shakes and sweats plus the worst migraine for 3 days. I just wanted someone to cut my head off. lol

You are on the right path. Your body is in shock and just has to get used to it. You are doing GREAT!!!!!

Before my pre op I started to drink lots of water. One morning I had kidney pain so bad. My hubby asked me how much water I had. I drank a lot and he said my kidneys were probably overloaded. I stopped drinking for an hour and the pain subsided.

I'm trying not to do anything DRASTIC now to my body.
