Every doctor has their own prep. You don't list who it is so it's hard to help.

My pre-op diet has been all liquids. Protein shakes, sugar free/fat free pudding, sugar free Popsicles, Kroger Carbmaster yogurt, and clear broths. Water, water, and more water. No foods whatsoever.

Usually no food. Although my doctor allowed lean meat on a bed of greens for dinner for the first week. The second week was all liquids. Feeling irritable and dizzy are normal side-effects. They go away after a few days. You are basically in carb withdrawal. If you eat carbs now you will defeat the purpose.

Mine was 2 protein drinks or bar a day and one meal that consisted of lean meat, veggie, and a small potato.

Irritability on the pre-op diet is DEFINITELY normal. Follow the plan as written, and be sure to stay hydrated. If you absolutely must eat something, stick with lean Protein, like a grilled chicken breast.

I would stick to your protein drinks until you know for sure. My plan includes veggies, oatmeal, applesauce, yogurt, jello and pudding. Also to have 4 protein drinks, 2 with milk and 2 with another liquid.
