Pre-op diet issues

[kaynga 4]

So I'm going on 3 days of my pre-op diet, and I keep having spells where I get chills and intense nausea. Does anyone have advice? My diet is Premier Protein for Breakfast, lunch, and for dinner 6 oz of lean meat and nonstatch veggies. I've also been instructed not to take Vitamins.

(I feel like such a wimp for being like this only 3 days out. I'm definitely not giving up, I'm just looking for ways to improve the situation)

Could be carb withdrawal or a virus, hard to tell at this point. Prior to starting this liquid diet did you reduce carb intake at all?

Not sure what is in Premier Protien - but if it doesn't have sugar you could be detoxing from that? Sugar detox is brutal: headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, nausea, cravings.

Could be artificial sweeteners like Nutra Sweet or Splenda. Could even be stevia, some people are sensitive to those also.

I think it was like Keto flu. Good news is after 3 days it's stopped. Thank you for your advice everyone!! It helped a lot.

I would call the surgeon. Those are not typical symptoms of sugar or caffeine withdrawal. Dont worry about being a wimp.

Glad you shared, it will be something I watch for when it's my turn. Hang in there and good luck with your surgery!
