Pre-op diet, arghhhh.

So I started my pre-op diet today of 4x Soups, 4x yogurts and milk...

It is SO much harder than I imagined!! I've literally had no energy, been feeling empty and constant tummy rumbles.

Did anyone else find the pre-op diet hard? Especially on the first day?

My pre-op diet was different from yours, but I found it to be incredibly miserable. I was allowed three Protein shakes per day and one green salad with calorie-free dressing. Plus unlimited sugar-free Jello and popsicles. It totaled out to about 450 calories a day which was terrible! I was expected to keep up with my cardio, keep going to work full time, and I still had 100% of my stomach at that point! Ugh!

I had terrible headaches the first few days as my body went into ketosis. My breath was terrible. And I had NO energy. I ended up having to scale way back on my cardio intensity to still get any exercise in.

My pre-op diet consists of clear liquids, 3 protein shakes, and unlimited jello and popsicles. BOO!

I'm on day 7 and get its so much better... Day 2-5 were my worst.... I had horrible headaches. I feel great now. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. It won't last forever and the end result is worth the misery. Keep your eye on the prize!! A new YOU!!
