I just needed to release the tension I have today. Every other day has been pretty good, even the first day. But today? Hell. I am so irritable right now and I would just like to eat something...or someone... Or just some form of meat or carb ( bread, pasta, etc). Please tell me this gets better! Or that my life is just that pitiful that my happiness is based somewhat on what I can eat! The struggle is real and it's eating at me and I'm jealous!

Hang tough. Yes, it's real and it sucks. But it's very temporary. The payoff is so so so worth it.

Just think some people had to do it for 6 weeks , I don't know how they did it though , I had to for 2 weeks drink LOTS of water like constantly till you feel water logged , however just for me I did ask my Surgeon & I did 2 protein shakes a day for 2 weeks & a salad for dinner with VERY little ground chicken or ground turkey dressing was white distilled vinegar & lemon juice VERY little to my liking takes some getting used to , so just a suggestion ask your Surgeon also at the time I couldn't stand plain water but I got used to that also however I now & then was able with the suggestion from MY Surgeon to add lemon or lemon juice NO SUGAR though , so either YOUR SURGEON will say yes or no for YOU but for ME I know it paid off, also hopefully they gave you the Pre op diet & post op diet instructions SO many people don't get them , if not ask or look them up, good luck.

@@sweets27 you just described what it was like for me as well.

Started off well and then reached a point one day where I thought I was going bonkers.

Someone on here suggested I try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein powder. Turns out that it was a great move getting some of that. The flavor was great. Having some soup to eat was a huge plus. I did put some Mrs Dash in it along with fresh ground pepper and felt like I was having a gourmet meal. No kidding. Retained my sanity.
