'Normal' is subjective...

But what you're experiencing is certainly not uncommon...

You're body is going to rebel in some manner because you're suddenly depriving it of the sugary/salty/carby/whatevery goodness that it's been used to...

You will probably get thru it without too much if a problem but if it persists, contact your medical support team...

Good luck with it...

Keep us posted...

By day 4-5 I was calling my surgeons office and telling them that my blood sugar was too low and I was not going to make it. Basically told to hang in there, I would be ok. They were right. By day 7 it leveled off. I survived. It is soooo hard!!! But you've got this!!!

How long is your preop plan for?

Days 2-4 into 5 are the worst days. At least it was for me. Once you get over the hump it's relatively smooth sailing afterwords.

In a few short weeks I get to do it all over again.

I went to my doctor today and I told them I was feeling fatigue and tired so the nutritionist told me to buy sea salt baleine that supposably helps for tiredness and fatigue

Hey girl,

I was super tired too for my 2 weeks. Cold turkey off caffeine, sugar, food (well the food I liked to eat) and pot had me all kinda of moody. By day 5 I was okay. I cheated twice, but was proud of myself for getting through it.

You got this!!!!

      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.
