I am 9 days into the pre-op diet and I have found as long as I have my Protein drinks frequently and don't wait because I am busy, etc. I feel pretty good. I did have headaches and I felt shaky the first few days. Not having real food can put anyone in a very irritable place! I wouldn't worry about that, it is normal. The headaches and the shaky feelings are gone and I am feeling pretty good now. The busier I was the less on focused on the fact I wasn't eating the better I feel. I made myself busy with friends and projects. It helped me to stop thinking about how much I didn't like the pre-op diet and wishing for carbs. Hope that helps! Now it isn't so hard to see/be around food. I am fine not having food.

Hope that helps!

I'm on day three of the pre-op diet too. Just this morning I realized that I haven't had any headaches or jitters. I started not drinking with my meals a while ago and I think that may help. Froedtert Health tells us not to drink anything 30 before a meal and nothing until 30 minutes after a meal. It helps satisfy the hunger and lets your body process the Proteins. Monday I drank Water with dinner and a couple hours later, I was very hungry!! Last night I fought through the little bit of hunger I had by keeping busy until bed time.

I am on day three as well and i'm choosing to do 3 weeks pre-op. I want to be ultra prepared and not shock my body more than it already will be. Good Luck to all!

I feel you. I'm on dat 3 and I'm so irritated. But I know that it's for a good reason. Just got to think positive thoughts.
