Starving

[Yetta2u 3]

That is my fear, that I am going to be so hungry I will loose my mind.. Just hang in there it will be over soon. Good luck to you...

I think today is your surgery date so I wanted to stop by and wish you luck. It will be great, I promise!

Also - regarding the pre-op diet, I supplemented a lot with Protein shakes, but I ate a lot of turkey slices and string cheese. Basically cut my carbs down to less than 15 per day and had a nice, flat liver for the surgery. (Which is why they have you do the pre-op diet) I was like you - starved all the time.

The first three days are the worst. I am not kidding! The headaches and just general irritability because you're body is going "WHAT THE HECK?!" because it's used to getting what it wants and now all of the sudden it's not.

Good luck to you! You'll do great !

The doc lied said the shakes would help with the hunger, i have never been this hungry on any diet i have been on.

I can relate to how you feel. I was starving pre-op and now post-op. Just keep telling yourself (like I am) that this is necessary and is only temporary. I have survived 19 days now with no food. Most of the time, I am okay, but I have my moments that I am a miserable you know what! :thumbup:

Dont feel bad pick up and get back on the road to a better life, we all have days when this will happen and you know what the docs know we are not perfect.
