I am on day 4 of my pre surgery liquid diet. I am feeling extremely tired. Did any of you experience this? My surgery date is 8-27.

Hey there. I assume you mean 9/27, right? Honestly, the worst part of the whole process for me was the pre-surgery diet. Since you're presumably getting fewer calories than your body is used to, it's normal to feel a little sluggish in the beginning. I find that after about 3-4 days my body starts burning more fat for fuel and things improve a little. I hope this turns out to be the case for you. Hang in there. It's probably going to get a little worse before it gets better, but it does get MUCH better. Best of luck.

Yea I did mean 9-27 and thanks!

yes so make sure you are getting your protein in (its your fuel and will keep you going)

i am not sure if you are on all liquids or not...but it gets easier and it will be so worth it

My surgery is 9/26 and I'm in the same boat...Ii even have had episodes of getting really dizzy. Keep up the good work and I'm sure it will pay off for us!

Hi, I will be starting my pre op diet in about two weeks. I won't have my next appointment with the nutritionist until 10/2, but i like to be prepared. With the protein shakes can you mix fruits with them to get your daily servings and how about your daily servings of veggies?

I am in the SAME boat!! 10 days of liquids and sugar free jello an popsicles!! It is the hardest thing ive ever had to do!!! I feel week and mellow and im always a chipery happy go lucky gal... 4 more days

Im with you, 4 days down and 4 to go. Weekend has been the hardest

Mine is on the 27th too, but I have to do the 15 days liquid diet!!!! I am always thinking of food..it's bad.

Mine in on the 27th too! What a popular day. I only have to do 48 hours of a liquid diet. My BMI is just at 40. So my Dr said 48 hrs was enough. Did anyone else have their dr tell them that?

Mine is the 26th... I had to be on liquids for 2 weeks & I've been so grumpy.. I haven't lost that much weight tho & I only have 3 days left. :/

Mine was at 40 when I started and he still ha me do the 2 weeks. I think with him there is no exception! He had one patient who didn't follow the diet and her liver was big and broke...he said it was a mess. Don't know if it's true or he is just scaring people to follow their diet lol.
