I was doing so well but this morning I feel weak. I chugged some water and had one SF pudding but I didn't want either. Maybe I'm not getting enough in? I did add cheese to this liquid phase but that isn't enough. What a whine bag! I may go order some good ol' chicken soup and eat the chicken and veggies too. (before I get slammed- I'm not required to do a week of pre op- only 48 hours)

I felt weak for the first 3-4 days too. Don't eat too many veggies as they are carbs and you want to shrink your liver. If you can do a pre-op diet I think that it will only help you in the long run(detoxifying your body). Good Luck!

Good luck, you are going to love your sleeve! You will be weak for a few weeks but then bam! You will have so much energy and feel awesome.

Wow, before you know it you will be sleeved! CONGRATS! Can you drink protein drinks on you pre diet? If you can, maybe you can drink 1 extra to give you some strength. Can't wait for you to join us on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH!

Even those of us required to do 14 days with nothing but liquid have felt weak during the pre-op. I worked out daily on the 14 day liquid diet and couldn't handle the sugar-free Popsicles or pudding because I don't do sugar-free stuff well, but the first 3 days I had a headache and I also had liquid bm's that would catch me by surprise. I had diabetes so my sugars dropped a lot and I also have lupus, so it was a tough the first week but, fortunately, I made it through it just fine and hopefully it will go fast for you and you will be fine too.

Sometimes the power of positive thinking works wonders and telling yourself you are proud of taking these steps and convincing yourself you are doing well and encouraging yourself works. We all felt tired during this phase, so you aren't alone and soon enough you'll be sleeved and will have to work through another host of challenges and I think the preop just prepares us for the road ahead.

Be proud of the steps you have taken to change your life.

Wow thanks for all of the encouragement. I do drink Protein shakes and they do help me feel better. I'm a big baby- I do admit- and any little feeling of something out of whack I tend to freak out about it. So thank you all for the support- I could have easily been told to "search" for something or ignored . You all rock!

I'm 5 weeks Pre-op but I'm on bedrest due to a pulled groin/abductor muscle, so I'm eating less than I'm supposed to calorie wise- Gaining wright is easy to do when you're not moving much! Anyway, low sodium chicken broth (2 packs in a big mug) with pepper and a little garlic powder help to feel less light-headed/woozy. Also some herbal green tea with lemon seems to help. 

I need to get some tea! That is something I don't have. I like the soup with the stuff in it idea. I should probabaly announce I don't cook much. Don't like to so I struggle when it comes to thinking of things. Thank you for your feedback!
