Pre Op Liquid Diet

[Excited2011 1]

I am on day 4 of the liquid det, the first 3 days were fine but today not so great.

Any ideas, tips?

Not really any tips for you except drink as much as you can stand. Bouillon Soup helped me a lot. My first three days were the hardest (headaches, weakness) and then it got easier.

One problem that some people on liquid diets seem to be having is low blood sugar. The symptoms

that might indicate hypoglycemia are shaking,sweating, light headedness and hunger. To cure

these, any glucose source such as fruit juice, table sugar or even a piece of bread. To find more

information check Google or any search engine.

I ate a lot of sugar-free popsicles to get the feeling of eating. I also drank lots of boullion. The best thing to keep in my mind is that this is sooo temporary in the big scheme of things. And so worth it!
