Day 5 of liquid pre op diet and I'm so exhausted. I'm doing ok sticking to liquids but I'm completely exhausted. I fell asleep mid afternoon! (Not like me)

Anyone else experience this PRE op??

Yes. For me, it was a detox from sugar and carbs, which really makes you feel bad.

Me too. I felt drained of energy. But I experienced that on the Atkins diet as well. So I think it is the high Protein, low carbs that causes the feeling of tiredness. I didn't have those simple sugars pouring into by system and my body was use to having easy access to energy. I've learned that when I'm feeling weak and sleepy that I crave sweets. I think it's my brain trying to get some sugar into my system for some quick energy.

I actually have been doing no sugar or carbs for a while but I feel like the continual liquids and less Protein options are making me sleepy!
