2 Week Pre Op Liquid Diet

Wow! My surgeon doesn't require 2 week liquid diet. I will have to do a 2 week liver shrink diet, but it's not nearly that strict (thank goodness)

Bone Broth sounds really good, I will have to give it a try.

So an update: Day 9 of only Clear Liquids (protein shakes, Water, Powerade zero, sugar free popsicles and jello)

I am taking all of my Vitamins and drinking at least 60g of Protein daily while consuming at least 64 oz of fluids a day.

I'm not sure if it's because of "that particular week" sorry, TMI, but I am feeling weak and dizzy.

I'm not even hungry so much. Sometimes I feel I could eat an entire tub of cottage cheese, mushrooms, olives, etc. (Note: I HATE ALL THAT STUFF) but I'd be willing to eat it.

But it's not so much the hunger like I said. It mostly comes and goes and is mostly head hunger whenever I see something pop up on screen. Okay, some of it is actual hunger.

But I have no clue why I am so dizzy and weak. If I am taking all my vitamins, protein, and water, why am I still so weak?

I would imagine that high Protein or not, consuming only liquids would have an impact on your energy level and how much stress your body can handle. I did used to get very weak during my shark week because I was anemic and that week just heightened that. Without intaking a lot of Iron right now you're probably feeling that as well.

I think that could definitely be it. My Iron runs really low so I might just take 1 more iron supplement while being careful not to overdose on it and damage my liver! I think that might definitely be the cause! Thank you!!!
