Feeling Yucky On First Day Of Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

Here it is 8:40 pm and this is what I've had all day today. 2 Protein Shakes, 16 oz of Water, 1 cup of broth and one sugar free Jello. Now I am nauseated, have a really bad headache, I'm weak and cannot stomach my last Protein Shake. I know I dindn't get my water in and that is because I was on the road traveling. Hope the next 13 days don't feel like this.

Don't be nervous, it will go smooth. I'm sure it's the lack of Water that I didn't take in today. I also do not know whether I'm diabetic or not and my blood sugar could be low. I called my surgeon and he called me back and told me to drink some juice, I did, but not feeling much better yet. said for me to call his office in the morning and get right in if I'm still feeling light headed and dizzy, nauseated etc. CAlling it a night and maybe I can sleep it off, lol. Good luck tomorrow on ur pre-op diet.

Sometimes when u start a pre-op liquid diet its about withdrawals of food that make u feel a bit strange/different/wierd/sick/dizzy most people have been eating too much sugar and carbs and when these are drastically reduced u will get those withdrawal symptoms so stick with it, not everyone gets them ready2loseit so dont be concerned i am sure u will be ok .. most people are :)

I just got my pre-op diet e-mailed to me today. I start it on the 11th. Mine is 1 one Protein Shake for Breakfast and one for a snack, then for lunch and dinner no carbs or sugars. No Pasta, bread, potatoes or any other starches. It said to eat a half lunch and a half dinner. How do I know what they consider half. I think I will call Monday and see if they could be a little more clear on how many calories and things.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
