day 4 liquid diet! :)

 Did any of you feel SUPER tired? i mean like you just wanted to sleep the whole time? Iv made sure to drink my 3 protein shakes/soup with protein powder (was told to mix and match) and have been snacking on greek Yogurt, pudding, suger free surbert/pops broth and drinking LOADS of water. Meeting my protein goals but i STILL feel like i havnt got sleep in weeks? 

I'm on 2 protein shakes and one 4 oz of meat meal a day with 2 sf jello and 2 cups of broth and of course all the water I want... On day 2 I DTed like a drug addict I was in bed curled in a fetal position crying.

On days 3-4 I was tired as all get out by day 5 feeling much better and today it's all good. Just trying to remember to take these vitamins now.

Hopefully you will perk up too!!

 im glad they do this preop diet. i feel like it lets you know if you can do it after im getting through it i just feel like a zombie. im actually not hungry at all today i just feel tired. thank you so much for your post! :) 

the nurse said in addition to doing it to shrink the liver it lets your body go through this now she said we wouldn't want to go through it the first few days after surgery and I couldn't agree more.

 Oh i completely agree. because that emotional crying angry feeling alone made me ALMOST (never gonna fully think it) feel like i should give up. i just felt helpless and GRRR it sounds so silly now that im feeling Great. Tired but great :) surgery its self is "scary" but i know i can do it, just like 1,000,000's of others who have. :) I say this so much but its my reason for turning to surgery. My kids need a mommy who can be there for them, not only in the long run but do fun, healthy things with them along the way. i have had MANY people try to talk me out of it and make me feel like im making some kind of mistake. but I Know im doing the right thing. Im giving my self a second chance to be healthy, and i think im Strong for doing so :) SORRY IM GOING ON AND ON XD its just nice to talk to people that just get it you know? 

Yes I was super tired. In fact I am 2 weeks out today and it's the first day I didn't have a nap or sleep in late. Anaesthesia kicks your butt!

It gets better!
xo

 thank you! :) i didnt mean to complain i just wanted to make sure it was "normal" i guess lol  i had a bit of a grouchy stage and sad emotional melt down  the first and second day! lol my poor husband! the grouchiness went away but the tired feeling took over. i have two babies 2 and 11 months. so i just ignore it and fall asleep early for bed. :) 

Good call on going to bed. And it didnt sound like you were complaining at all. We all know the feeling even if you were complaining, bring it on!

 :D that just made my night!!! :) i feel silly posting on here sometimes because i know you guys have all heard the same things before! so i dont want to "bother" anyone. i have met alot of REALLY SMART and kind people on here and i love it! :D
