Pre-Op Diet Worry

[KCSunshine 0]

Hi everyone.

I just got approved Wednesday and will have a surgery date on 9/13. So, while I've been waiting on things, I've decided to start a mini pre-op diet of 2 Protein shakes and a meal per day (5days a week).

While I've been dropping 1 to 1 1/2lb per day, I've been feeling really fuzzy by mid afternoon along with headaches. While I mostly understand why this is happening right now, I can't continue to feel like this forever.

Will this continue to happen after surgery? While I'm feeling upbeat about everything, I'm really worried about this. Of course, I will bring this up with my dr on Tuesday but I wanted to get others feedback.

I appreciate any insight or optimism about this.

My Surgery is also on 9/13 lord willing the floods recede and the roads reopen so I can get to the hospital. My surgeon has me on an eight day liquid fast. 6 no sugar Carnation Instant breakfasts a day, with any no sugar no calorie drinks allowed. The day before surgery is a clear liquid diet. I imagine I am dropping weight like mad although I am pretty consistently hungry and have had a lot of headaches. If you don't have any restrictions I would look into higher Fiber foods with low calories.
