Exhausted while on pre op liquids

So I just finished day 5 of my pre op liquids, and since yesterday, my energy level has been extremely low. I came home today and went straight to sleep. Anyone else have this issue?

I think what you are experiencing is absolutely normal. It is a huge change your body is experiencing. I was tired, grouchy, and had a headache for several days. It did get better, though. Get some rest and hang in there!

Good luck with the surgery!

Thanks! Just 2 more days. I can so do this

You got this! I'm just starting my liquid diet and I already feel what you are describing. I feel so empty lol.

Try some Vitamin Water Zero or G2....it will help with your electrolytes.

I've been drinking propel and crystal light with the shakes. I'm feeling better today after sleeping a ginormous amount.

I have to do this for 4 weeks and I'm sooooooo nervous that I won't be able to. Good luck with your surgery!!

Luckily my dr only requires a 3 day pre-op diet of two protein shakes and one healthy meal a day. I think a week a head thought I'll at least be subbing a shake for one meal.

Oh my! I do not envy you. I just found it odd that most people say it starts off hard then gets easier,but for me, days 1 and 2 were a breeze!
