Please Help! Pre-op Diet...

On my second day of my two week pre-op diet. I woke (3:30am) with a headache (migraine). I am miserable.

How long does this last? I am getting plenty of Water and Protein... I think I am just CARB detoxing - how long will this last?...

Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.

I am on my 7th day and my 2nd day was the worst one yet. I had a headache and was feeling comepletely starved. I have not been getting the amount of shakes I am supposed to in because I've been dealing with a lot of nausea which started before the diet.

It gets better in the next few days. Hang in there!

THANK YOU PIK!!!!

I was starving yesterday....today not so much (I think because of the migraine). I went to my nutritionist today who told me I need 4 - 8oz Protein shakes a day. I had two yesterday -- oops!

I know I can do this...I just have to get over this hump. Plus....I am so emotional - I actually cried at the thought I can no longer have a Burger King Whopper !!!! Omg..... I am ridiculous!

Oh I don't think so...I would love a slice of pizza or a steak! Or even just a couple of bites!

I hit a wall day five with the all liquid preop. However that day I did not meet my fluid goals. I think as long as you get all of your fluids in and meet you protein shake requirements you will be fine. But what has also worked for me is that I am literally drinking/sipping something every 2 hours.I don't allow myself to get to hungry. Also going to bed early has really helped too:-)
