I am one week into the pre-op diet and I feel like my metabolism is in over drive (which is good) but I cannot seem to sleep at night. It's not really my brain freaking out, it's more I just can relax and fall asleep. I spend a lot of the night dozing in and out. Is anyone else dealing with this or have dealt with it that can help with ideas (or just sympathy!)

I am not really not that nervous at this point. are you getting enough Protein? that could be why you don't have enough energy. I make my shakes coffee, a tiny bit of almond milk unsweetened, protien powder and 2 cups of spinach. That is morning and lunch and I put ice in them and have half a shake at a time so I get to have something to drink 6 times a day. Evening I use 10 cal juice with the protein and spinach or decafe earl grey tea, almond milk and Protein Powder. They are low cal, delish and satisfying. I find for energy the splitting them in half and having some every two hours really help and gets me in the habit for after.

I am on August 16th. for those of you who are on the protein shakes diet pre op is anyone having trouble sleeping and do you have any ideas why? It's not like my brain in just not shutting it's more that I just can't fall or stay asleep.
