Exhausted on Pre Op Diet

[Tommy Joe 113]

I'm on day 10 of my all liquid pre op 1000 calories and I'm so exhausted at the end of the day after school I almost can't drive home...anything I can do? We only have two days left!!

What can you have on your preop diet?

All liquids very low carbs . I mostly have shakes. I'm going to purée some Campbell Soup tonight for a bit of a feast lol. I'm also off all caffeine .

Teaching is very draining too

Add another shake to see if it helps. Do you take Vitamins? Be careful driving!

When I met with the anesthesiologist he said I wasn't looking too good (same as you described)-he suggested drinking Propel Water to help with electrolytes. Funny thing-I did drink them the last 4 days before my surgery, but couldn't stand them after surgery-tasted like sugar Water. But might be something to try in the meantime. Good luck!

Hang in there, you've almost made it. I'm also a former teacher, I can't imagine this has been an easy time of it.

It's been pretty good I have wonderful support from my admin and students who are pretty amazing but I'm ready to be done

I am on day 11 and I feel your pain. Woke up exhausted and my head is hurting. I just have to get through tomorrow then I can sleep the weekend away. Don't give in now... We are too close.
