Pre~op Diet

Anyone having problems with having enough energy to exercise while on pre~op diet? Begging second week and I have no energy and lightheaded. I'm wondering how ppl have energy to exercise after surgery due to limited caloric intake. I'm following diet to the "T"

  • I was extremely tired during the 2 week pre op diet. Took several naps and I couldn't exercise. My surgeon suggests to start taking your Vitamins now to help with it. Sent from my iPhone using

I don't think it's a good idea to exercise like that on the pre op because you're not actually eating . And after surgery you wait weeks to exercise when you are actually able to eat soft foods and have healed properly

Im on day 1 on preop diet and boy Im so scared Im going to mess it up. what kind of things do you eat?

I didn't do day one because that's when I got my approval so I ate like a pig that day lmao. And I could only drink water , crystal light , diet Snapple ( which I love ) sugar free Popsicles sticks , this pudding powder ( taste awful) Greek yogurt ( AWFULLL) and low sodium broth and sugar free jello ( which taste like regular jello to me ) i have two days left and I've lost 15 pounds

You are definitely not alone on this one. I haven't really exercised on the two week liquid diet. I'm on the last day of only Clear liquids and no Protein shakes. Ickkk. I finally had energy a couple days ago and have took a couple 15 minute walks. Stay strong.

I'm towards the end of my preop diet, surgery is Friday morning. Lack of energy? Check. Lightheaded? Check. I keep having to stop and take a break every few minutes while trying to give my house a thorough scrubbing. I did too much Saturday and ended not doing much of anything Sunday except fold and put away laundry. And even with that I got lightheaded every time I went to put something away. I just keep reminding myself this part is temporary and worth it in the end.
