I felt like I was going to die for about an hour? but today I feel good. did anyone else have that issue? I wonder if it was the Protein Shake or what? HELP!

Chele H 427 Posted December 24, 2014 You may have had low blood sugar yesterday as your body is detoxing from all of the processed foods, sugar, etc.. I drank a lot of Vitamin Water Zero to keep my electrolytes in balance and it helped with headaches. By day four or five the intense hunger and bad mood subsided for me. You've got this!

ojibway 203 Posted December 24, 2014 my blood sugar wasn't too bad it ranged from 90-110 yesterday. I am hoping for it to get easier! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted December 24, 2014 The first three days were the worst for me, too.......the other eleven - no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JALUVIC 79 Posted December 24, 2014 Stay strong!! You have to be a role model for me as I approach the pre-op phase!! I'm sure it's just a detox thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbyswife 862 Posted December 24, 2014 I'm 6 days post op and the 14 day pre op was by far the worst part. Get through that and you're golden! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
autumn23242 46 Posted December 25, 2014 Just keep following the diet with no cheats and you should be good now I had to do a 14 day pre op. The first three days were awful. Horrible headaches, low blood sugar times which led to cold sweats and light headedness. I remember looking at my husband day 3 and saying "if I wanna die now how am I ever going to make it to surgery and the rest of my life." Then on day 4 it all hot better! But boy it sure kept me from cheating! Did not wanna go through withdrawals again! Now I'm 10 days post op and feel good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted December 25, 2014 I had massive headaches for the 1st 3 days of my preop. Everyone said it would get better, and although the headaches stopped, I just got hungrier and grumpier. Day 14 (of 16) was the worst. But I still never cheated and it was worth every cranky minute. Hang in there....this will all end up being just a distant memory.

ojibway 203 Posted December 26, 2014 I made it thru X-mas dinner, I took a nap while everyone else ate! I usually do all the cooking, but my Mom helped my wife with the meal. Pre-op wasn't too bad today, hopefully over the hump. I have been a little crabby though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
