My surgery is July 26th and im struggling with the pre-op diet. Today was day 3 and the first 2 days were easy now today I've been starving i've gotten all my protein plus some and i've messed up and I ate a salad with tomatos, cucumbers and with organic fat free dressing. That didn't satisfy me so I grabbed a slice of low fat cheese. Now im munching on another cucumber. All good things but I'm just so mad that I'm being weak,and speaking of weak I took a multi-vitamin to get my iron, but im shaking, and can barley lift my head up im so weak. I feel at any moment I could hit the floor. I've stayed in bed most of the day. I'm so ready to go to a drive thru.

 You live in my neck of the woods.   PLEASE don't do this to yourself.    Don't set yourself up for failure so close to your surgery date.    Trust me...it will be OK.     When you get really hungry.....do some fluids and lots of them.   When you fill your stomach up with  water, tea...etc. you won't feel those dreaded "hunger pains".    Take your vitamins daily.   That is very important no matter which WLS you have.    You will be OK.    If you are looking for a support group to attend.   I am a OH Support Group Leader and my meetings are in Keller.   I live in N. Richland Hills.    If you need support and want to talk to me one on one....let me know and I will give you my phone number.   Keep your head up....you will be OK.   LOTS of support here on OH.  


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
