bandita 16 Posted August 15, 2012 Am finishing day 2 of the liquid diet and feel as though i may sleep for the next 2 weeks. I am exhausted. I am drinking the costco Premier Protein shakes...about 3.5 a day which is 105 grams of Protein so i am meeting the requirement. I have had chicken broth and my husband just went to get me some Jello. I have to work tomorrow...a 12 hour shift...please tell me this will pass. Surgery is still 12 days away.

traceyinflorida 499 Posted August 15, 2012 Once all the carbs and sugar are out of your system you will start to feel a lot better. I think I had about four days of head aches and low energy. After that I felt really good. It still was not fun, but I felt like I could do it. Hang in there! Keep reminding yourself that it is only 12 days. Just a blip on the calendar really! YOU CAN DO IT!! 1 Birdy18 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birdy18 44 Posted August 15, 2012 I'm on the liquid pre op too and the first 4-5 days I had horrible headaches and felt completely outside of my body. I had to leave work early to go home and lie down. Now that I'm on day 9, I feel a ton better. I do sleep REALLY well at night but it's not anywhere near the lethargy I felt in the beginning. I won't say I've been perfect though. I've cheated a few times with grilled chicken and cottage cheese! You can do it! I have 5 more days to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
