Day 3 of pre-op torture

So today is the 3rd day (out of 10) of NOTHING but liquids...
I am allowed 3 protein shakes a day and allllllllllllll the sugar free liquids, jello, broth and popsicles I want.  I am doing ok, first day was easy, yesterday I had a headache alll day long and i'm not allowed to take advil  that is the only thing that usually works for me.  I was sooo hungry last night I took a sleeping pill and went to bed early..lol

Getting ready ton conquer day 3 off to work for me, lets see how this goes. ONLY 8 more days til surgery!

Oh and I am only taking in 600ish calories...seems rather low to me

How is everyone else doing?

Well, you're only getting calories from your protein shakes which are only about 190ish calories anyways, depending on brand.

You're doing great!! =)

I am only on day 2 of my liquid diet.I get 4 shakes and only 2 cups of broth and all the sf jello and popsicles,yesterday I had a headache but gone this morning.I am so ready for the 29th to get here...

tnchickenfeather...isn't the headache HORRIBLE! Mine still hasn't gone away.  The 29th can't come quick enough!

I am on the LAST day of my pre-op diet... and the whole thing sucked... day 13 was the fist day it didn't suck... wish I had better news for you... but I will say, that I haven't had the energy to freak out over surgery... I've been too hungry!

I am so forunate. My liquid diet was only 2 days but I had to use that awful magnesium citrate. I spent two months on a very low fat diet to shrink my liver, I also went straight to soft diet after coming home. Today I had Progresso Soup and 3/4 pice of whole grain toast with a small amount of cheddar cheese. My digestive system has been terrific. I wonder why different docs have different diets.

Can anyone tell me that the headaches will quit? It feels like my head is going to explode.

Day 5 and i still have a headache

My surgery date is 4-28-10 and I only have 1 day of the liquid diet before surgery, but 2 weeks of liquid diet after surgery. I normally get headaches anyways so I am sure I will not like the headaches that will come with it. Can you take anything for the headaches? Maybe liquid form? I hope so! hheadaches Suck!
