Pre-op diet question

[Sunrise07214 57]

I am on day 3 of the pre-op diet and I am very shaky and have been getting awful headaches. Has this happened to others? Is it normal? Thanks in advance!

It's normal.

Yeah, Sweetie, it is pretty normal. It's like a detox without the cucumber-lemon-red pepper cleanse. There is also a reaction called the carb flu, where your body wants all the carbs it is not getting so you get the heebie-jeebies instead. The pre-op fluids are not pleasant, but you are preparing your body for a life-changing experience. If you are still concerned after reading some responses, do not hesitate to call your bariatic team.

HI I am 3 days on my liquid diet as well and have had a headache for 3 days i was told to take tylenol and its normal your body is detoxing from all of the food that was stored in it.
