What the heck is happening to me!! I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet... DAY 3 was horrible! I felt like I was going to die for about an hour? but today I feel good. did anyone else have that issue? I wonder if it was the Protein Shake or what? HELP!

You may have had low blood sugar yesterday as your body is detoxing from all of the processed foods, sugar, etc.. I drank a lot of Vitamin Water Zero to keep my electrolytes in balance and it helped with headaches. By day four or five the intense hunger and bad mood subsided for me. You've got this!

my blood sugar wasn't too bad it ranged from 90-110 yesterday. I am hoping for it to get easier!

The first three days were the worst for me, too.......the other eleven - no problem.

Stay strong!! You have to be a role model for me as I approach the pre-op phase!! I'm sure it's just a detox thing.

I'm 6 days post op and the 14 day pre op was by far the worst part. Get through that and you're golden!

Just keep following the diet with no cheats and you should be good now :) I had to do a 14 day pre op.

The first three days were awful. Horrible headaches, low blood sugar times which led to cold sweats and light headedness. I remember looking at my husband day 3 and saying "if I wanna die now how am I ever going to make it to surgery and the rest of my life."

Then on day 4 it all hot better! But boy it sure kept me from cheating! Did not wanna go through withdrawals again!

Now I'm 10 days post op and feel good!

I had massive headaches for the 1st 3 days of my preop. Everyone said it would get better, and although the headaches stopped, I just got hungrier and grumpier. Day 14 (of 16) was the worst. But I still never cheated and it was worth every cranky minute. Hang in there....this will all end up being just a distant memory.

I made it thru X-mas dinner, I took a nap while everyone else ate! I usually do all the cooking, but my Mom helped my wife with the meal. Pre-op wasn't too bad today, hopefully over the hump. I have been a little crabby though.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
