Anger and agitation

I just started the 2 week shake diet before surgery. I don't know if I can do this! Iam about ready to rip anybody's head off!!!

I'm hungry and Iam starting to get a bad headache.

Is or has anyone else experienced this? I need to do this. I have come so far...

Also, has anyone else had a problem because of large tonsils? Iam worried about them trying to get that thing down my throat during surgery.

I had arthroscopic surgery for my knee and when I woke up, I couldn't swallow, breath or speak. It really scared me.

They must of just crammed that thing down my throat. That's what it felt like...

It will get better! I'm 4days post op what I had for my 2 week diet was Optifast liquid diet and one solid meal at lunch which I had slot of salmon chicken or tuna meat and veggies or salad. I struggled to start off as well but your changing your life for the better it will be easier I promise. I also experienced the hunger and headaches do what you need to do for those I had no breathing problems when I woke up either.

liquid diets make everyone angry and agitated. It is very, very normal. The headache is coming from either low blood sugar, or withdrawal from sugar. This is also very, very common.

The pain you had was due to a breathing tube they used on you during surgery, and I have had a couple of surgeries where the pain from that was worse than the site they operated on, so I hear ya!

That makes sense about the drop in blood sugar. Thank you

Thankyou for your feedback.
I can't eat anything but shakes. I need to quit coffee too. I always put a lot of milk in my coffee. Like 1/4 cup. I am going to try caffeine free herbal teas. I think the Dietician said that would be ok. Iam going to try sugar free popcycles tonight. Man I man, my stomachs is growling...[emoji16]

I know...i think Iam going to have to avoid my loved ones, as I don't want to be angry at them..at the end of these 2 weeks, I feel like I should be down 20 pounds[emoji20]

I've had 3 of 4 friends that's had the VSG tell me they drink coffee everyday. I think they all put some kind of Protein Powder in them too. I don't like coffee so I didnt ask many questions regarding it. I would think it would be fine to drink a cup in the morning since it's not your main source of liquid intake.

Can you try a different shake with different ingredients? I couldn't handle the Premier Protein shakes and has to order Unjury brand.

      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.
