I believe it's quite common. Lack of carbs, lack of calories, no caffeine, surgery ahead, I think it's totally normal. ((hugs))

I read something about hormones being stored in fat, primarily estrogen. As we release fat, those hormones start rampaging! I'm 3 weeks post-op and have been blue for the last couple of days too.

I suggest you cry when you want to, and read a mindless book or watch stupid TV or get out of the house to distract yourself. That's what's been working for me the last few days.

Yes, cause I didnt even want to go outside today. I stayed in for the first time in awhile. I wanted to just relax. Hubby took kids and they at the park with a friend and their kids. And I'm home alone sipping broth and Water and eating Jello

Keep reminding yourself why you need this surgery.

I'm with you sister. I am going in Tuesday as well. Clear Liquids aren't until Monday but highly restricted, very low carb, heavy Protein Shake diet has me feeling the blues. I go from great and energetic to a headache and starving to questioning my choice to counting the minutes.

Has anyone had issues with broth I can't intake it anymore I feel nauseous to smell it or the taste. I have surgery tomorrow morning

Yes I was sick of it. What we did was we changed up the flavor. Taco seasoning one day, ramen noodle seasoning the next, hot sauce the day after. Gotta keep it exciting!

Good luck tomorrow! Let us know how you are doing.
