I have been on clear liquid diet for 1 week. I have a week to go. I feel absolutely horrible. My skin hurts. My stomach hurts. Any suggestions?

Everything hurts me too. 1 week left on my pre op diet and I am feeling sorry for myself. I just ate some sugar and fat free vanilla pudding instead of my night shake. It may have had more calories, but made me feel tons better.

Im not allowed to have any thing but clear sugar free liquids and 2 -10 oz shakes

. It will be the same post op for 2 weeks while your stomach swelling goes down and as you heel you will be tempted to try food because surgery is over and no risk of insurance denial/doctor not doing it. So pre op diet is so important to get your head in the game! You have 1 week to go!! Great job so far!!

Have you tried Vitamin Water Zero or G2? I dranks lots of Vitamin Water Zero, helped with keeping electrolytes balanced and made me feel better.

No. Im going to try that. Thanks

I drank the Zero Vitamin Water too, it's awesome, and has natural flavorings, so no sweetner. I feel your pain. It's funny that at the point you are now with the Clear Liquids, you feel like you could eat a house, but next week when you graduate to puree, you'll be lucky if you can get a couple of mouthfuls in. Good luck, it doesn't last forever, even though it feels as if.

Thank you. I just drank some vitamin water. Hopefully that will do the trick. ...
