Is or did anyone become grumpy during their pre opt diet? I am two weeks in a four week diet and starving. I was on a diet before starting this diet. But with it I got 2 meals and stayed satisfied. And ate between 800 and 1000 calories a day. Now I only get around 500 calories and I feel like I'm not losing as much with this diet as the last. I'm also a little resentful of those who can eat normal. Is this normal? I know I need to get use to it. I'm just a baby.

Oh Katie, I have to do 2 weeks.... Can't imagine doing 4 weeks! Stay strong! Remember why we are doing this and focus what our life will be when we are healthier! We can do this! :)

I am also on the pre op diet of one meal and two shakes a day and let me tell you it's not that easy for me either. I'm very thankful I didn't have to do 2 weeks of liquids like some have to. Sometimes, especially when I'm stressed all I wanna do is eat a huge meal of something bad for me but I just keep telling myself it's going to be so worth it. Hang in there! We can do this!

I'm on Day 4 of pre-op and have a constant low grade headache as well as hungry all the time. Yeah, I'm pretty short with everyone.

I am on my last day of the two week liquid with surgery tomorrow. I was hungry but drank lots of liquid. I didn't cheat once. A little impatient but after a couple days I was able to handle it. If I can do this, so can you. Plus people notice the weight loss. Stay positive and active. If you rest too much you think about food. Good luck

I have 7 days of liquids. I read that Chinese medicine teaches that anger, hostility, and resentment are stored in the liver, so those feelings mean that we are doing things right! It may all be BS, but it helped me get through the day, so maybe it will help you too :)

      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.
