Im on day 5 of my pre-op diet, and I've been craving sour. I've been drinking pickle juice, and then mixing in straight vinegar. Has anyone else had this problem?

My husband looked into it more and it's from to much calcium, Your body can't process all the calcuim (in the protein drinks) and needs to be broken down. As he put it, it's pretty much a calcium overdose.

Is Isopure the only clear protein drink out there?

Thanks guys! I thought I was just losing it!

I've been struggling really bad with the pre-op diet. I started on Sunday and my surgery is this tuesday the 26th. I've strayed away from a protein shake or two and replaced it with a couple eggs, and a couple times I has a few slices of cheese. If I tell my doctor this do you think he'll cancel my surgery? I've also been drinking vinegar like crazy I just can't seem to stop craving it. I feel so crappy and scared that if my liver grew that I won't have time to fix it in the next 3-4 days. I plan on sticking to the diet from here on out. I pray it's enough time to undo any damage I may have caused.

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.

I'm getting banded on July 26th and my doctor only requires a week of dieting before surgery. It's a clear liquid only diet and was told to get a clear liquid Protein drink. All I can find are colored shakes. Anyone have any idea of what I can get? Thanks Darci Shannon
