I'm 4 days in to my food based pre op diet. I'm drinking lots...so much i feel like i'm swimming and my kidneys have started to hurt ...is this normal?

Kidney pain is never normal. Pain is always an indication something is out of whack. Don't drink so much you drown yourself. Are your measuring? How much? Be sensible about this...K

Thankyou. I'm measuring all foods and milk..but was just told to drink lots. Any ideas how much i should be drinking?

Do you have a VSG diet plan? If not, call you surgeon and get yours. Plus agree, you should discuss your pain. Diet plan should outline what to eat/drink during each phase. If none, then google vsg diet plans so you know what to expect.

Hope you feel better soon.
