I'm on day 8 of 10 day liquid protein diet. Surprising I'm doing really good mentally with it. It hasn't bothered me like I thought it would. I'm really proud of myself. I went to my normal dr. yesterday morning for my pre-op checkup and he did some blood work to check a few things. When I got home from work I had a message to call in. My blood work showed that I was dehydrated. I need to drink lots of extra fluids this weekend and go back in on Monday to have it re-checked. How can I be dehydrated when I'm only drinking all day long? I guess that might explain why some mornings I feel a little light headed and strange. Anyone else have this issue before the surgery?

I'm on day 3 and I feel great. Better than I have in a long time. Lots of energy and my knees are not hurting. So I'm really excited about how much weight I will lose before the surgery. Sorry your having problems. I know I'm probably not what you wanted to hear but I was shocked how much I have gotten accomplished today instead of napping.

Thanks for the reply. Besides being dehydrated and not really knowing it, I was doing good. I'm down 13 pounds in 8 days. Good Luck to you and keep it up !!

the only thing I could think of is when you drink all day long you drink exerything but water,

we have a tendency to drink our required amount of protein,juices,skim milks,but no water and that has a lot to do with being lite headed,if it keeps up please call your doctor and let her know,or you can just wait and find out what your doctor will tell you because tooo much protein is like eating a pot of beans and not washing it down with nothing,you are getting your protein but just not enough water.....
