Did anyone else experience flu like muscle soreness within days of their pre-op diet? I swear it feels like I've been run over with a truck! For breakfast and lunch I'm just having the protein shake minus the fruit. Dinner- 7 oz baked Cod, 1 cup shreded cabbage 1/2 an apple and 1/2 cup dry spinach leaves. Maybe this feeling is due to my lack of sleep last night due to being woken up so much from the home sleep study equipment strapped to my head and nose! What should I do?

Pop a couple of tylenol and keep moving forward. If you are really concerned that something may be wrong talk to your bariatric surgeon and the Dr. who ordered the sleep study.

I didn't have those symptoms with my pre-op, and it was NO carbs. I was on a clear liquid diet for 7 days pre-op.

I've done the induction phase of atkins for about 3 months straight years ago, (I know, dumb me) and felt more energy after the first few days.

May be the lack of sleep and being tired. I didn't have to do the sleep study.

Hang in there! It'll be over before you know it.

You are eating carbs in the form of fruit and veggies. Trust me, you will not die!

Turns out I wasn't dying because of lack of carbs- I just had a wicked case of strep throat! Lol. Well anyways, I stuck to the pre-op diet. Lost 18 pounds in pre-op. my surgery was last Friday. I'm back at work, feeling so much better, down another 10 pounds since surgery five days ago. This is amazing.

Good for u
