M on day 3 of my PRE-op diet and I just cheated and had 12 olives. I feel like I'm starving and I'm exhausted all the time. Is tat normal? Surgery is 9/25. I'm going to need some strength!

I have not been told to change my preop diet I'm on now. I suppose I'll find out tomorrow.

Hi iPrincess. My PRE-op is tomorrow also. I'm ready for it to be done also. The anxiousness is getting to me now. Yet, I'm so excited about this new chapter in my life.

Good point about the low blood sugar! Last lab work I was told by my PCP that she wasn't going to do anything about the A1C because I was having the Surgery in a month since the surgery will help fix that. I'm glad I don't have to fix meals for others. That would be really hard. I'm staying busy today since I'm not at work to not want food. I'm off to clean the kitchen now. . I hope to have the house spotless before my surgery on 9/25.

I'm able to have only those items, water, tea w/sugar substitute and I added broth (low sodium) today. That helped with the hunger. Still tired though!

I'm having 3 protein shakes a day! They have me eating every two hours. I start with 6 oz of yogurt, then a sf pudding, then 8 oz of Gatorade, then protein shake, then fruit chiller, then jello, then protein shake, then pudding. I'm using Unjury protein shakes. Maybe I should be drinking more water. I'm down 4 lbs in 3 days but I'm struggling already. Could be a mind thing. I will focus on Surgery. 12 more days.
