I'm 4 days in my pre op two week diet and it's so hard ! Harder than I expected. I've done good up until today . I cheated a little. My dr is requesting I do all liquid diet for the two weeks. Protein drinks with sugar free Jello or popsicle for snack and nothing else. The headaches are unreal. Can anyone give me any tips! My surgery is on the 28th !

I feel you- I had such a hard time on it. Honestly, I ended up eating cucumbers or lettuce with lemon and a tiny bit of feta once a day. I needed the crunch and it helped with my fluctuating blood sugar. The point of the diet is to put u into a ketogenic state (less than 20 net carbs a day), limit your calories as much as possible, and get u used to drinking instead of eating. I'm not gonna condone you cheating, but just sharing what I did to get through it. I lost 18 lbs and had surgery Wednesday, so I think it was fine.

I luckily didn't have to do a full liquid diet, but it was liquid plus one "healthy" meal a day. I found that the headaches were from dehydration combined with caffeine withdrawal. Taking some advil or excedrin and trying to double my Water intake helped.

For me, the pre-op diet was 100 times harder than anything post-op, so just hang in there and do the best you can, and plow through.

Premier shakes r filling.

I love the chicken Soup flavor and you can mix it with low sodium chicken broth for a great winter clear soup.
