no energy-preop diet

Who else has/had no energy doing their liquid pre-op diet? I feel so sluggish and tired. Makes me want to just burrow under my covers and sleep forever. Luckily only 5 more days to go till surgery. Staying true to the diet but just super tired.

    @Matt Z I finally got myself up to about 80-100 oz a day and im pretty sure you're right on the toxins thing. Trying to still flush out all bad carbs, sugar etc.

  • Yeah that's pretty common, hammer the water, it helps flush out the toxins that your body is more than likely working on getting rid of.

Very normal. I didn't have much energy post surgery for a few weeks either, though no real pain. I think I was kind of sad and it felt like I was breaking up with food, and I kind of was but slowly this got better. The more I got outside to walk or swim the better I felt and the less I focused on food. You've got this, it gets better. Cheers!

Thanks!!! :D

Totally normal. I also didn't have energy post surgery for at least the 4-6 weeks. It does get better though.
