I am on a two week liquid diet before surgery. I called the nutrition is today and explained at day 5 I felt like I was going to pass out. She gave me the okay to have some chicken for dinner. Yay!!!

I;m on week 2 of my liquid pre op diet. I lost 21 pounds last week. But I'm lucky - i get one meal a day - my choice and i choose dinner so i can eat with my husband. I can also have cheese sticks and fruit for snacks if i want. It's not as hard as i thought it was going to be but it's not that great either.

When I started feeling really badly on the liquid preop diet, it was electrolytes I needed, not solid food. Low sodium v8 was a lifesaver (tons of potassium and low calories). Salt helps too.

Could also be blood sugar problems (especially if you are diabetic), and that one could be tested for with a blood glucose meter.

Hope you can figure out something that will help, without compromising your liver-shrinkage
