Day 5 - Pre-Op

[Jen D 17]

Day 5 of 14 pre-op liquid diet... Well, I'm down 5 pounds, no cheating, and I'm not starving. I am, however, tired and lethargic... I feel like I could sleep all day every day. Anyone else in their pre-op? Do you feel this way?

Hi, I'm now three days post-op. I slept a lot yesterday, but today I feel restless. How are you doing with soreness and pain? I am ok pain wise, but the area around my drainage tube is where I am the most sore. Does it let up as the days go?

@@Auntiex3 I don't think she's had the surgery yet, but to answer your question the drain is a pain! I don't think it was ever not aggravating BUT when you get that sucker out you will feel 100x better!

thanks Elode, for some reason I was seeing post-op and not pre-op, lol! Yeah, the drain is my main issue. Its tolerable, but I just worry about catching it on something or whatever. Thanks

I am on day 4 of 14 and I am very tired by the end of the work day but having trouble sleeping at night. I think my mind is to occupied with the excitement of surgery getting so close! My date is December 2nd.

I'm day 3 and actually had to sleep in and take a couple hours off of work...of course I also quit caffeine two days ago so that is probably not helping....not to future pre-oppers....get off caffeine before you start the preop....wish I had

I'm on day 5 of 10 day pre-op liquid diet and I am also exhausted. I had a super long day on Wed and even though I got in all my liquids/protein/vitamins, I was light headed by the time I got home. I had some broth and it helped a lot. I made yesterday a shorter day and had no issues at all. My NUT also advised me to remember that I'm drinking between 600-800 calories a day which is a little more than half of my normal intake. Naturally, your body is going to slow down to accommodate. Hang in there! It'll be over before we know it!

I'm not actually sure if I want food or not, I think I do. lol I just have headaches everyday since I started this diet. I am scheduled for December 5th for surgery!! 'm excited and ready for that!
