Hello all. My doc put me on a pre-op diet that consists of a protein shake for breakfast and lunch. For dinner I can have low carb meal. I'm extremely nauseous throughout the day and usually have a headache by 5:00. Any suggestions on how I can feel better or prevent this from happening?

I'm on day 2 of my preop diet and I agree, it doesn't feel great. Ive been drinking herbal tea and low sodium/low fat broth in between protein shakes (both are ok on my plan). The warm liquids seem to help.

BTW, you're doing a great thing for yourself!

Hope you get some relief!

You will just have to ride it out while your body adjust to it.

Is it possible to have the low carb meal at lunch so you dont feel so weak mid-day?
