What the heck is happening to me!! I'm on day 4 of the pre-op diet... DAY 3 was horrible! 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!

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!

my blood sugar wasn't too bad it ranged from 90-110 yesterday. I am hoping for it to get easier!

The first three days were the worst for me, too.......the other eleven - no problem.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
