Second guessing my choice ????

I am on my 4th day of the 2 week liquid diet and I am suffering. I am cranky, soo hungry, and have a lot of headaches (I just want to chew!!!) My sister was eating a gyro yesterday and I cried seeing her do it (I'm not crazy I swear haha) does it get better after surgery? Because right now I'm doubting my will power and if I can do this.

It actually gets a little bit better even during the pre-op. The headaches are due to your body entering ketosis. That's usually about a 3 day process. Once you are in ketosis, you won't experience the headaches again unless you eat too many carbs, fall back out of ketosis, and have to start all over again.

However, with that being said, if your pre-op diet is as few calories as mine was, you will be very tired and hungry the whole time, because you are literally starving.

Hang in there. I won't say it gets "better" post-op, at least not immediately, but it is certainly very different. The things you will be coping with post-op are very different from what you are experiencing now.

I think it's only rough the first couple weeks post op. Yes, like you, I cried when my husband was eating an egg Mcmuffin in front of me 3 days post op. But it gets easier and easier as time goes by. Because of GERD complications, I was on liquids for 6 weeks. It's not easy, but once you get over the hump, it gets easier. What keeps you going is thinking about that magical time where you can actually have pureed food for the first time

But having 85% of your stomach cut out is a pretty good mmotivator for most people.

I feel your pain, I'm hating everyone that eats around me right now. I started my liquid diet Monday. I keep reading here that it gets better, I'm holding out hope

My husband was considerate he ate in the room and not in front of me when he could. I am 9 days post op and have started puree foods .Lost 23 pounds on the liquid diet and another 12 so far YOU CAN DO IT

THINK OF YOUR RESULTS. .....
