Dizzy pre op diet

[kooks3003 41]

Hello just wondering if anyone experienced dizzy and weird sick feelings through the pre op diet or am I just getting sick at the wrong time? I'm only a week and one day into pre op diet and have three weeks to go but I feel horrible today.. Hoping some sleep and Advil help..

That is totally normal. It can feel like being hit by a truck if your also off caffeine and sugar for the first time. I'm on my 5th day of the pre-op diet but I was lucky in that my sugar and caffeine withdrawal was super mild (lucky genes I guess).

The first two days I did feel pretty sick. At this point I get weird hot flashes, too.

sleeping has helped me get through the tough times. I'll take a Benadryl if I have to.

Yeah I'm lucky to have this afternoon off. So after work this morning iv been in bed asleep on and off. Sooo draining. Unknown it's for the good but some energy would be good
