Jaime_Boston 44 Posted March 10, 2014 Day 5 of liquid pre op diet and I'm so exhausted. I'm doing ok sticking to liquids but I'm completely exhausted. I fell asleep mid afternoon! (Not like me) Anyone else experience this PRE op?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsuchick4 54 Posted March 10, 2014 Yes. For me, it was a detox from sugar and carbs, which really makes you feel bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted March 10, 2014 Me too. I felt drained of energy. But I experienced that on the Atkins diet as well. So I think it is the high Protein, low carbs that causes the feeling of tiredness. I didn't have those simple sugars pouring into by system and my body was use to having easy access to energy. I've learned that when I'm feeling weak and sleepy that I crave sweets. I think it's my brain trying to get some sugar into my system for some quick energy.

I actually have been doing no sugar or carbs for a while but I feel like the continual liquids and less Protein options are making me sleepy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
