Default Emotions, is this normal?

I'm on day 4 of 14 of my pre-op liquid hell diet and I wonder if my irratic emotions are normal.

I havent been 100% compliant with my diet, it's been much harder than I expected.

During the night of day 2-3, I was so hungry I was literlly shaking. I ended up eating a bowl of chili.

Yesterday I made the chili receipe from the forum and at first only had some of the juice. Later in the day I ended up having a small bowl.

Today I had a side salad with fat free dressing and the grilled chicken and while wheat bun from the sandwich...


needless to say I feel like a complete failure.

I dont eat b/c of emotion or boredom, I eat b/c I'm flat HUNGRY. I've only done this once per day, even tho it sounds like more....

Am I a failure? Am I doomed to fail at this?

And my emotions, I am SO MAD all the time. I bite the heads off everyone. Everything just really ticks me off.

And then again I feel like I'm going crazy, I could cry sometimes at the drop of a hat.

The DH is supportive but I can tell my ANGER is wearing him down.

Is this normal?

What can I do to wrap my mind back around this pre-op thing, the clear liquids...Will the hunger pass?

I fee like such a failure. I just want to sleep and be left alone.
