Did The Preop Diet Make You Feel Like A Bear?!?



Recommended Posts

Day 4 preop diet and I realize I am so grouchy. Everything gets on my nerves. Is this temporary or am I the only one who feels like they are super edgy? I so want this surgery but I don't want to feel like I'm turning into a grouchy B because of it! :-(

Me too! I'm just hungry so I'm really praying I'm not as hungry after I'm sleeved. I just fixed my kids dinner and my head is POUNDING! I'm thinking I'll be pretty happy to finally get knocked out for a few hours on Wednesday morning!

I'm on day 5 of my pre-op, surgery is in 4 days.

I've been super duper tired. And weak. I worked this week, but I have a desk job, so it was ok. I always saved my last Protein shake of the day until I got home. Walking the 6 block to my car just wiped me out. Then driving, my arms just felt so stinkin heavy.

My husband has been great, he would take care of the kids and get them supper while I laid down for half an hour every day after work. Last night, though, he was really tired, so I gave the kids their baths. I was totally dead after that. Just so weak.

I know that feeling! Every muscle in my body feels weak! Just lifting my purse feel like a huge task. I've been on the liquid diet for 11 days and it really has made me weak. I'll be so glad when i get the surgery done and get to have creamy soup! I have 6 more days to surgery. Good luck!!

Head hunger was an issue for me after surgery - I had only a 2 day preop diet but now I am 2 weeks into my 3 week clear liquid diet so believe me.....I feel your pain! My brain still wants to eat sometimes, but I have zero hunger sensation from my new tummy - its very cool! I have my moments each day and it hasn't been easy, but you can do it!!! Feel free to inbox me with any questions - :)

      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.
