I am on day 3 pre op diet and I feel awful.

Nauseous, lightheaded, clammy when I drink a shake it stops for maybe an hour and them comes back. Any guidance is appreciated.

Try sipping 3 oz of your shake, wait and hour and then sip three more all day. In between sip hydrating liquids. Are you allowed any solid foods on your pre-op?

It sucks! There is no other way to say it but it comes and goes. I hit the wall at day 2. I cried to my husband that I was not strong enough to do it. That was 3 years ago already and it was worth the 2 weeks of hell for what I have now. It is a distance memory. Stay strong. I promise you it is worth it!

So I made it to day 9 of pre op diet. I still am pretty hungry most of the time and feel bad mostly in the afternoons after I have been moving arround alot. Is this how I will feel with the lap band??? Because although it has gotten a little better since day 3 it still is awful. I am a fulltime grad student and there is no way I would be able to even think straight when I am back in school if this is how life will be forever. Any feedback and comments is appreciated.
