Today was day 8 of 14 of my pre-op liquid diet (down 11 pounds by the way!). Until today, I felt great and realtively energized. I'm allowed 5 shakes a day and at my mid-morning shake I nearly threw up and was nauseous for some time.
One of my friends says it happens to her sister-in-law who has diabetes... Something about the blood sugar being affected so quickly. I don't have diabetes and the reaction I had was so foreign to me. Have any of you seen this?
I haven't been able to get down 5 shakes since my 4th day or so because I'm just not hungry. Last night I had to force myself to drink #3 so I wouldn't get a headache.
I'm wondering, will days 9-14 be a repeat of today? I'm hoping that this is just a standard "off" day in the pre-op phase. Any thoughts, knowledge, emcouragement would be appreciated!
