So I'm really having a hard time. My date is May 6th and I started my pre op diet on Friday. I have horrible headaches and no energy. My pre-op is liquids only 3 protein shakes, water, tea and coffee. Oh and sugar free jello and Popsicles. Did any of you have issues with pre-op diet. I'm seriously having a hard time. I don't have energy for anything. I have a very stressful job and I'm not sure how I will get they the week like this.

I'm doing the pre-op liquid diet now, my surgery is on Thursday. I was having those same issues, but they DID go away after the 6th or 7th day. Make sure you're keeping hydrated with water. I found that even though i was getting 64oz of water, it wasn't enough to keep me from feeling dried out - literally, even my EYES felt dry. Hang in there, hopefully your hunger will pass also!

Are you drinking caffeinated tea/coffee? My list of acceptable liquids include Carnation Instant Breakfast Sugar Free made with Skim milk and 98% Fat-Free Cream Soup made with skim milk (1 can per day). You are also on the third day, which means it should start to get better soon. Hang in there!

I'm drinking decaf tea and I only drink one cup in the morning. I drank some tea yesterday and it was decaf. I'm not allowed anything else and it's tough.

It will get easier in another day or 2. You can do it!

Yeah. Your body is detoxing. drinks lots of Water to help with the elimination. Maybe some green tea. I know it sucks, but hang in there! This too shall pass.

This is going to be the hardest part of the process...but believe me after the surgery the post diet is the same but you wont even be able to get it all in you at first. I did pre op for 3 weeks,my choice, so that i was sure to loose the weight i needed to..it does get better. Hang in there love..

Just hang in there. It gets better. Best of luck to you!

Thanks everyone I appreciate the support. Detox is right I truly feel like my body is in a detox. I hope tomorrow I feel better.

I am on my 2nd day of the pre op diet. I was having major headache and was very cranky. Lets not mention I didn't get any sleep last night because I was up going to the bathroom from drinking all that water. The headaches are starting to lighten up. Now I am drinking 100 calories Lipton green tea which seems to help and is giving me something else to drink. I am just worried about work tomorrow. But I am praying the day will go by fast since my surgery is Tuesday. Hang in there it's going to be all worth it in the end.

Day one and day two of my prep diet was the worst. I was mean and cranky. Wanted to strangle everyone who was around me. Had a huge headache and wanted to eat everything I saw and smelled. When I woke up on day 3 something told me to weigh myself and boy was I glad I did.. I was 5 lbs down and could not believe it. It motivated me to stay strong and I actually did. After day 3 everything was fine. I was no longer hungry moody or thinking of food. Good luck.
