[ashingee 0]

Please help me, I need advice. as I type this my eyes are filled with tears. I have been living on Protein Shakes, Water, broth, jello... I feel as though I was hit by a bus. Im dizzy, I've slept all weekend (which isn't like me). I'm getting banded on the 14th. I don't know if I can do this without eating something. Please help.

How much Protein are you taking in? Give the doc's office a call tomorrow and let them know of your difficulties. Depending upon your intake you may not be getting enough Protein. With that written, the pre op diet is not an easy road...giving carbs up cold turkey can cause some of your symptoms also. Good luck and don't give up.

Thank you. I am having 2-3 Protein Shakes a day. Im reading on here some people are having 6+. I go see my doc tomorrow for my last appt. I am just in so much pain.

I had the same diet - Only I had 4 shakes a day (Optifast) & clear sugar free fluids...By day 3 I thought I was going to eat my own leg off...It was VERY hard...To be honest I did cheat...I called my clinic and told them of my cheats (I craved cheese & crackers)...By day 8 I was ok - and didn't cheat for the last 6 days...My liver was fine for surgery and all is good. Try to keep busy so you're not thinking about it so much.

Shoot i am lucky i am getting in 1.5 shakes!!! i did call my dr and they said i can have a small peice of chicken to make me feel better so i did, but when it comes to Protein i am getting little to none and i know this is not good, im not diabetic but my hubby is type 1 so i checked my sugar one day when i was dizzy and it was 65 so i had to have a msll glass of juice

thank you all so much. I go in tomorrow to my doctor and im going to let him know how awful I feel! Does anyone know why some of us need this diet for 1, 2, 3 weeks? I am so close to having a cracker. I'm just so worried it will mess up my whole surgery

Thank you so much hynita! Did you tell your doctor about eating? I had a Slim Fast last night and that did help but I'm afraid to tell him
