pre-op diet

I am on my second day of the pre-op diet. From the "doctors orders" I did consume 63 grams of Protein yesterday but it only came up to 566 calories. Does that seem right? Of course, it seems low to me. I woke up today feeling weak and with a headache. Is this how you feel for the whole two weeks before surgery? Does your body get used to the few amount of calories? Just curious what I am looking at for the next two weeks. Any thoughts?

  • I was told to focus on grams of protein, and not count calories. I am getting 85-92 grams of protein daily. Prior to the pre op diet, did you use caffeine? If so, this could be a withdrawal headach

    Haha. Don't you love when they sell it so well with the side effects? It'll be worth it!

    Surgery Monday, November 9, yippee! I'm sick of the pre-op diet and ready for the next stage. Lost 15 lbs on the pre-op regimen.
