1st Day of Pre Op Liquid Diet- Surgery in 8 days

Today is my 1st day of my pre op liquid diet.

I had a Protein shake with greek yogurt and coconut Water for Bfast.

Home made vegetable broth for lunch and a SF popsicle.

A Green drink with hemp protein for a snack

and a Protein Shake with almond milk for dinner with a half cup of SF Jello.

I drank 12 8oz cups of water.

I had worked out for 40 min doing cardio and I'm afraid I've created this headache that won't go away.

Is the headache from heat, exercise exertion or lack of food? Has anyone overcome this feeling. I don't want to think I'll have this headache until after surgery. :(

...please help?

Thank you!

Your diet is so much better than mine. Mine consists of 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops, for 2 weeks :/

I didn't get a headache till 10 day on my diet. Starting tomorrow is 1st of 3 days liquid diet..ho hum....Surgery is on Monday the 11th. I have already managed to lose 9 lbs :D I guess the hardest part is cooking for the family and not eating what they are eating but i'm kinda of glad i've had these 2 weeks to adjust to my new life, with each day getting a little easier.

I start my pre OP on Monday so I can use Protein shakes as a clear liquid choice.

I feel for any of you that have a 2 week liquid diet :( I have my surgery on Mon 11th and only had to do 2week or low fat low carb no sugar diet. But now i'm on the 3 day liquid diet and only on the 2nd day and going out of my mind. Stay strong peeps <3

I have the same diet as you @@Ale Nunez! I'm dying and hope I can make it 9 more days.

Today is my 3rd day, I felt really weak throughout the day, I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I'm not even hungry, just very very tired.

How are you feeling?

Doing ok. I'm on day 8. It's mostly just trying to keep food out of sight. On my second day I was so exhausted I had to take a nap in my car on my lunch hour. But since then it's been better! Hang in there

I don't know how you people manage to go through weeks of liquid diet. I was told to go on liquids two days prior to the surgery only and I don't recall being that miserable in my life. Even after the surgery was only tough because of the nausea. Day two of the liquid diet, I was so pissed off, I wouldn't even talk to anyone.

I can and I will.
