A few pre-op questions

[spunkyheather 10]

Hello,

I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet that consists of all liquids (clears) and 3 Protein shakes a day for 7 days. I am having terrible leg pain for some reason? Did anyone els experience that? Also appx how many grams of Protein did you guys take a day on your pre-op diet?

Thanks!

Drink more and try something with electrolytes and broth. It could be dehydration or potassium deficiency.

My pre-op diet was at least 100 grams of Protein per day.

Did you start taking your multi Vitamins yet? With just consuming Protein shakes you may want to start them pre-op. You could be low on potassium. My doctor suggested it for me.
