Still starving--is this going to get better?

Day 3 of liquid pre-op diet.

 

Not REALLY hungry--but a little bit hungry. in fact i think i feel weaker--due to low-protein. yesterday i had a headache--definitely from low protein (not from caffeine deprivation--i am totally off caffeine, have been for a long time now--at least a year). have tried to keep the liquids up to feel full too, but am feeling quite sorry for myself today.

 

now--is DAY 4 supposed to be better? or AFTER day 4? i am doing what i've been told to do--for now--but i might have to cave in and call the nutritionist and see if there's ANYTHING else i may safely consume.

 

bummer...

 

i'm really feeling bummed out....

Hellow, I am sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. Protein helps the body heal faster. I am 8 days post op and am mixing my protein drink with skim milk. I fills me up. Today if the first day I am starting to feel better. A few more days and you have have an egg. Good Luck

I am sorry I thought you were post op. When I reread this you were pre op.
