Day 5 of 14 pre-op liquid diet... Well, I'm down 5 pounds, no cheating, and I'm not starving. I am, however, tired and lethargic... I feel like I could sleep all day every day. Anyone else in their pre-op? Do you feel this way?

Hi, I'm now three days post-op. I slept a lot yesterday, but today I feel restless. How are you doing with soreness and pain? I am ok pain wise, but the area around my drainage tube is where I am the most sore. Does it let up as the days go?

@@Auntiex3 I don't think she's had the surgery yet, but to answer your question the drain is a pain! I don't think it was ever not aggravating BUT when you get that sucker out you will feel 100x better!

thanks Elode, for some reason I was seeing post-op and not pre-op, lol! Yeah, the drain is my main issue. Its tolerable, but I just worry about catching it on something or whatever. Thanks

No surgery yet I'm scheduled for Dec 3rd.

I am on day 4 of 14 and I am very tired by the end of the work day but having trouble sleeping at night. I think my mind is to occupied with the excitement of surgery getting so close! My date is December 2nd.

I'm day 3 and actually had to sleep in and take a couple hours off of work...of course I also quit caffeine two days ago so that is probably not helping....not to future pre-oppers....get off caffeine before you start the preop....wish I had

I'm on day 5 of 10 day pre-op liquid diet and I am also exhausted. I had a super long day on Wed and even though I got in all my liquids/protein/vitamins, I was light headed by the time I got home. I had some broth and it helped a lot. I made yesterday a shorter day and had no issues at all. My NUT also advised me to remember that I'm drinking between 600-800 calories a day which is a little more than half of my normal intake. Naturally, your body is going to slow down to accommodate. Hang in there! It'll be over before we know it!

I am on day 4 of 14...First day was the hardest! I was ok while at work, it got harder when I was home. I don't feel hungry really. I'm not actually sure if I want food or not, I think I do. lol I just have headaches everyday since I started this diet. I am scheduled for December 5th for surgery!! 'm excited and ready for that!

Today is day 8 and I'm not hungry at all, just nauseous today... Oh God, hope I'm not catching something Maybe it's just my Protein shakes starting to gross me out hehehehe...
