Pre op diet and short fuse?



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed they are dead tired and have a very short fuse while on pre-op???? Today is day 7 and if you have been near me, looked at me, or if I think you looked at me I'm grumpy. No it's not PMS. Worse.

I definitely had that when I was on the pre-op diet! I was just so hungry a good deal of the time, I think it's nearly impossible not to get grumpy! Hang in there though - you'll make it, and it'll be worth it! :)

This is why I took the week after surgery as a vacation. I knew that I would be a bear on a liquid diet, and my doc's protocol called for a full week of Clear Liquids post-op. Thankfully - nobody got hurt, I had plenty of time to adjust and by the time the week was over, so was my grumpiness. Never has a Protein Shake been so appreciated as when the doc said "Stage 2 for you!".

I notice that I am very tired...and maybe a little snappy but I am trying hard to take in this experience with some level of excitement so I dont get fearful.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
