There's a Protein problem there for sure....you need to contact your nut and tell her what has happened...don't know what your diet is..so many kinds out there for pre-op but low protein is not good, drives your blood sugar down...

It's a full liquid diet. shake and pudding in morning, shake and Soup in afternoon, drink and another shake in evening. My shakes are Unjury. I take everything from the instructions of my nut. The surgeon has been notified.

I came close a few times while on my pre op diet. In my case it was from getting all liquid calories. Not getting any solids keeps anything from staying in your system for any amount of time.

Were you hypoglycemic to begin with? I've had that most of my adult life and that's how I get if I don't get enuf Protein. I ended up having a good 10 weeks of only liquids and I had to tell my boss I couldn't handle my job for the teatime being. I'm a caretaker and cleaner at a large apartment complex. She was understanding for sure but I felt so defeated.

Now, 11 weeks later I've lost 60 pounds.

Hope you feel better soon!

Were you taking any diabetes medication? If you are, maybe you shouldn't be on them anymore... (ask your doctor)

No I am not diabetic. I did have hypoglycemia when I was little. I drank a full shake about 10 minutes before all this happened. It was bizarre.

Got low blood sugar on my pre-op diet. Fainted... Oh what fun...

For low blood sugar patients docs & NUTS usually allow a fresh fruit a day. Won't hurt you!

      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.
