My surgery is tomorrow and I have been on an Akins type pre-op diet. I have lost 25 pounds in the last two weeks. During that time I have several muscle craps in my stomach that have been very painful. Does anyone know what could be causing them. I have been drinkng my Water and other liquids.

Really excited for my surgery. Just hoping that the muscle craps do not continue after surgery.

Could be low potassium - used to happen to me all the time while on Atkins.

Congrats on the 25 lb loss! Your surgeon will be thrilled and your liver will behave nicely and stay out of the way during surgery!

I had muscle cramps as well while on the pre-op diet. Never had them after. don't know what caused them. I know you said you've been drinking your water (I was too) but may be it's not enough. I have heard that the muscle cramps could be from dehydration. Connie
