Feeling Yucky On First Day Of Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Here it is 8:40 pm and this is what I've had all day today. 2 Protein Shakes, 16 oz of Water, 1 cup of broth and one sugar free Jello. Now I am nauseated, have a really bad headache, I'm weak and cannot stomach my last Protein Shake. I know I dindn't get my water in and that is because I was on the road traveling. Hope the next 13 days don't feel like this.

Don't be nervous, it will go smooth. I'm sure it's the lack of Water that I didn't take in today. I also do not know whether I'm diabetic or not and my blood sugar could be low. I called my surgeon and he called me back and told me to drink some juice, I did, but not feeling much better yet. said for me to call his office in the morning and get right in if I'm still feeling light headed and dizzy, nauseated etc. CAlling it a night and maybe I can sleep it off, lol. Good luck tomorrow on ur pre-op diet.

Sometimes when u start a pre-op liquid diet its about withdrawals of food that make u feel a bit strange/different/wierd/sick/dizzy most people have been eating too much sugar and carbs and when these are drastically reduced u will get those withdrawal symptoms so stick with it, not everyone gets them ready2loseit so dont be concerned i am sure u will be ok .. most people are :)

I just got my pre-op diet e-mailed to me today. I start it on the 11th. Mine is 1 one Protein Shake for Breakfast and one for a snack, then for lunch and dinner no carbs or sugars. No Pasta, bread, potatoes or any other starches. It said to eat a half lunch and a half dinner. How do I know what they consider half. I think I will call Monday and see if they could be a little more clear on how many calories and things.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
