KanesMom 44 Posted February 21, 2013 I'm so thankful that I can do a low carb PRE op diet. I'm not sure I'd survive the liquid thing without snapping at everyone. (Praise god) I'm with kanesmon, can't believe it's 8 days away !! My anxiety is through the roof though. I'm not scared anymore, just stressed and have an almost constant headache from it. I'm glad we have each-other. Hope this thread starts to get busy! Thats exactly how I feel! I'm basically constantly nauseous from all of the anxiety. But I'm trying to stay positive!! Thankfully I have a great support system, and having all of you to talk to and share my emotions really does help. I know soon enough we're all going to be posting our before and after pictures and living much better lives! We can do this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oknewme 8 Posted February 21, 2013 I am on day 2 of the liquid diet and its one of the hardest things I have had to do. I miss food so bad already. I know I can do this and need to because taking short cuts and giving up is what got me here in the first place. The hardest things in life are the ones we appreciate the most.

Especially because you know that a lot of the problem is you are genuinely hungry. When we are on liquids after, at least our stomachs won't be aching. We might get mentally hungry, but not physically, and THAT we can do! Your surgery is on the 1st or soon after? Looking forward to hearing all a out it.

Sumsuz68 53 Posted February 23, 2013 Day 8' date=' I feel like my brain has stopped working... I am not thinking fast and I am very forgetful. what is happening? This is the first day I felt this way.[/quote'] I don't know. I feel that way all the time! Just kidding. I had one day (I think it was day 3) that I felt light headed quite a but and weak. I decided I needed more Protein and ate some cottage cheese. That isn't on my pre op diet, but boy oh boy did it help! I did it the next day too. I had read that some people were allowed that, so I took it upon myself. Probably not good, but it did help and I'm not doing it anymore. Maybe ask your doctor.
