Hi I have been on the pre-op diet for about 2 wks now. Monday is my surgery. Today I woke up with all kinds of muscle aches and now my left leg is crampy and aches. Could it be the diet? Anyone else getting this?

could be some kind of electrolyte thing. Can you add some gatorade or pedialyte? I got those achey symptoms when I detoxed off caffeine. Are you detoxing from that also?

No, not really. My doc never said anything about caffeine. I just started some Powerade Zero. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think it might have something to do with dehydration ... Or potassium.. Are you doing a multi vitamin?

I have been really bad about them. Funny though I just filled my pill case this morning and took one. I am drinking Powerade now and lots of water. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow. Thank you!!

With all the liquid you're taking in you're probably flushing all of the potassium out of your body.

It should help if your doing the vitamins and water/ power aid . I had cramp/spasms and they are horrible
