Day 2 pre op. I am the biggest b***h alive?



Recommended Posts

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...

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.

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.

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.

You are hangry. It will pass.

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. B)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
