Am on day 10 of my pre op diet (four Protein shakes a day plus Jello and sugar free popsicles ) . If my dragon breath is any indicator am in ketosis (its so bad I gross my self out not to mention my poor husband). Surprisingly It has gotten better emotionally ,but am dead tried all the time. It's the night that's the problem.

I wait as long as I can to have that last Protein shake and I have a popsicle or jello before bed. Even with that i have been waking up around 1am with a rumbling tummy . I get up and drink as much Water as I can go back to bed only one be woken up an hour later with the same problem. This goes on until about 7am when I have my first shake.

Am now honestly wishing I had waited to see if I could lower my BMI more so I could at least have the option of eating a lean protein at night(if your BMI is 50< It's the same diet but with a lean protein at night).

I feel your pain! I'm on day 12, well now 13 since it's after midnight :-) My surgery is on the 29th so I have just a couple more days of this. I don't mind the drinks, jello and Popsicle's but I sure miss solids. If I could just chew something, I'd feel a lot better! I'm probably not helping you but I do understand your misery! Keep it up. The end is near! Good luck in your journey!

My date is also the 29th. OP can you have broth?

Yes I can. I've had the low sodium chicken broth. It taste pretty good but I crave noodles or something else in it LOL
