Day 10 Pre Op Diet

[lalaj 108]

its day 10 and I'm feeling a lot of things. I'm not too hungry but this liquid diet has me gassy and backed up. I felt sick for a few days, maybe because I'm not getting enough liquids. I've been trying to get my Protein in but it's becoming more and more difficult due to the taste of the shakes. They have become quite nasty to me.

I find myself wondering how am I going to make it through the next four days as well as the post op diet. It's not so much the hunger that bothers me, it's the headaches, gassiness, Constipation, dizziness and lightheadedness.

Anyhow, I'm just venting. Don't have anyone else to talk to about this. I haven't told many people and the three people that knows, wouldn't understand.

Praying it gets better with time. I try to keep in mind, this time next month I will be banded and eating "normally" again.

Good luck everyone.

I suggest you get some benefiber and add it to your drink to help with the constapation issue. As for the shakes I am not sure which ones they told you you could have i did find the capucino delight by Slim fast 3 2 1 was actually very very good...

I've heard Body Fortress from Wal-Mart. I start my 10 day tomorrow. nectar from The Vitamin Shoppe. It's pricy but it's thinner.

Maybe you could get the unflavored Protein from this site to add to your stuff so you're still getting your protein.

When I have done medically supervised liquid fasts in the past, our group was taught that lightheadedness, headaches, and Constipation were caused from not drinking enough Water. I drank the required amount but discovered I always needed extra.
