So its my 5th day today on the diet and I have to say the first day I am not feeling the best. No headache but very light headed, a little weak and a little sick to the stomach. I even feel my heart seems to be racing a bit at times. Is this all normal? I sure hope it goes away because I have a busy day today and tomorrow.

I felt crappy off and on throughout the pre op diet. I felt okay for the first 3 days then I started not feeling well. What you're feeling is similar to what I felt, but I also had headaches and a back ache. It's hard but keep with it and it will be over soon!!!
Good luck,

Do you know if sugar free jello is allowed or broth?

I had back pains, irritability, forgetfulness and headaches just to name a few. I kept repeating to myself "eye on the prize" to remind myself of why I was doing this to myself.

5 days down, you are almost done the first week

I often felt sick to my stomach. I found that the products turned me off eating. Like Michelle said, all you can do is keep on keeping on and keep your eye on the prize.

I did find that keeping well hydrated helped me feel better.

Everyday I survived felt like a major accomplishment.

You can do it!

I felt all those things too.  Mostly, I felt out of body.  Hang in there.  You can do it!
