I have surgery next month. so a couple months ago I quit smoking. this last week I took all soda out of my diet and started drinking 48+ ounces of water (I used to drink literally NO water). I have downsized my food portions and cut out all snacking.

Tonight I am all of a sudden extremely irritable. I am yelling at my kids and husband and cat about everything. I have a headache and feel so hungry and mad.

did anyone else go through this when they made drastic changes? I feel like I'm losing my mind and I am worried I won't succeed if I can't deal with the changes now

Nicotine withdrawl and caffeine withdrawl may likely be the reasons here.  AND, as a newer post op, you'll likely have depression or anxiety issues, which is quite common.  With the headache, I'm guessing it's likely the caffeine withdrawl.  DAVE

i was bad and didn't cut the soda out until the very last minute, knowing that i would be so doped up in the hospital that i wouldn't get the caffeine headaches lol. i don't recommend it though.

I agree. I didn't have the caffeine withdrawal headaches or if I did I had other pain and the wonderful pump made it all go away!!!
