Started diet today - I'm dying



Recommended Posts

Y'all. I am starting this low carb diet today... been on it a total of what, 4 hours? I'm ready to call the *waaaaaahmbulance* :P

All joking aside, I feel like CRAP! Whenever I low carb, I always feel like I've been run over the first few days until ketosis kicks in - this is why I never low carb. LOL!

I have no idea why I'm posting, other than to be a titty baby & whine a little. LOL

My co-worker had to go on the liquid diet two weeks prior to her sleeve and was miserable for the first two days. By day three though, she was golden. Hang in there! :D

I started my mostly liquid diet yesterday! I feel like I might actually be dying! Hahah! Hopefully the day three goldenness will apply to me as well. I need it. I still have another four days work at school before the summer holidays begin.

Haha, your title "I'm dying" made me laugh. You will get through it! I've been trying to eat less today than I did this weekend and I'm eating normal food, but I'm hungry, and cranky, and I might be dying as well, lol.

Hope the day goes fast for you!

Your title also made me laugh. You've got this. Day 3 it really does get better, it did for me too. Keep your eyes on the prize and know that after surgery you won't even be able to eat a full meal, you will look back amazed! Good luck!

We all just need to whine and vent sometimes! No need to apologize. The pre-op diet is teh suck and we all know it. Hang in there! This is where the true test of your patience begins and you are going to need a LOT of that in the coming weeks/months!

@@RNsleever715 I know what you mean. When I switced over to Ketosis I felt really bad for a few days. After that I felt great. I lost a lot a weight following that plan though. I made it through the liquid phase easily after that. I'm sitting at the OCC as we speak. I'm waiting for my turn in surgery. You can do it!

@@JamieLogical The patient ahead of me just went in for surgery. I've got my I.V. in and some happy drugs. It won't be long now.

Oh, it's all downhill from here. The happy drugs will take care of any of your last minute jitters and soon you'll be under. Coming out of the anesthesia sucked pretty hard core for me. Make sure you ask for some ice chips to suck on, because your mouth/throat will be sore and dry, but you won't be able to drink anything yet.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
