I started my Pre-Op diet today a low carb/high protein diet and it is going really well. i have been drinking Isopure protein drinks and watching what i put in my mouth. i felt a little tired all day which i think is a side effect of not eating all the carbs i am used to and had a mild headache, is that normal?? had a wonderful steak dinner and will have some yogurt as a snack.. I think i can actually do this whoo hooo... :thumbup:

It's very normal to feel tired and irritated when you start your pre-op diet. Your body is going through starvation mode. Kind of like a food detox. You should feel better in a few days. Good luck to you on your journey towards the finish line. This is probably the hardest part of the journey. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

I did the high protein/low carb diet and day 3 was the WORST for me but it was definitely better by day 5. I can tell I've lost weight because my clothes are fitting better too! YAY! You can do this!

Thanks guys for your responses... day 2 has been better i felt sleepy around 3pm had a low carb burger from Carl's Jr no cheese and a protein drink.. i feel i need something for a snack but dont know what to eat i think i'll have some nuts or an atkins bar... i need to stay with in 40-50 grams net carbs and yesterday i only had 23 so it looks like i can increase my intake a little... Good luck to all

Started mine yesterday. Was feeling a little lightheaded yesterday I am also doing low carb/ high protein. Not doing too bad today, not as hungry in between meals. I did eat some health food chips though when I got home. Tonight I am eating tuna with salad and maybe two slices of WASA bread. (They are only 20 calories/ slice)

Good luck with your surgery Amber! Tomorrow is the big day for you! :blushing:

Yay had a really good eating day today...had some major stress but i persevered and didn't eat anything i wasn't suppose to..

@ms_mention... i don't know where you live but there is some bread from Julian Bakery here in San Diego Ca. area that is only 1 net carb per slice. little on the expensive side but if you gotta have bread like i do then it is totally worth it http://julianbakery.com/ is where you can go to check them out... they also do shipping i believe....enjoy...

Thanks Zen for the info. Will def look into that. I think I may need to be more conscious of my carb intake. Good luck! I feel a little drained today. I guess day 3 is the killer. Hope I feel much better tomorrow. Hang in there we're all in this together!
