Are these things because of the pre-op diet?

Headaches.

Can't seem to sleep the night. Tossing and turning.

Cold all the time - my feet are FROZEN even with socks on.

I started my stupid period a week early. (That NEVER happens).

Good lord, 3 more days... get me through it.

I have not been perfect on the preop diet. I've had about 4 ounces of Protein each day around 5PM. Still, the weight is just falling off, which is good. I'm glad I'm near surgery... I'll still have all the time to pass AFTER surgery before I can have solid food again. Each day is a day closer.

I had the issue with being cold, weird I never have that issue. I am in menopause and had not had a periond since January but right after I started preop bam here it came. My doctor said when you lose weight the fat has stores of estrogen that may cause period abnormalities. sleep that is anxiety for me, tomorrow is my surgery YIKES! Hang in there.

I noticed that I got headaches for awhile and I think that is due to cutting out sodas and coffee...I do drink Iced tea but that is just a bit. I really think mine was caffine withdrawl. I have noticed that my hands start shaking every now and then. I really notice it when Im trying to type and cant hit the right key. My husband says thats from only having Protein Shakes for 6 days...its only about 600 calories. But doing much better now. I cant wait either FRIDAY will be here before we know it! Looking forward to a long happy life:party:

Hey Linda....i know exactly what you're going thru...just imagine i had to do the pre - op diet 3 different times....it took me forever to get one of my three dr's to pass approval...the 3rd time was the charm. i think it was more of an irritant to me then anything, it was very stressful especially the part about drinking 3 Protein Shakes a day and all the Water and crystal light you can handle (no type of food)...i was sick to my stomach, terrible headaches ......just think you're almost there...hang on sistah!!! :thumbup::cry_smile: P.S. - you're doing awesome on the weight loss CONGRATS!!!

Headaches could be from Caffine Withdrawal and sugar wd.... Being cold, is because your fat content and intake is down, notice when you eat too much you sweat??? it's the opposite now... I too got my period but 2 days after surgery and it's now twice this month, Just keep hydrated. whatever you do just drink enough. it will make it an easier transition after surgery.

I think our bodies are so used to getting so much more from us that they are just rebelling a bit. Loss of soda, calories, food, sugar, caffein, lots of reasons to be cranky.
