HI Girls, I got a question. everyone talks about liquid diets before surgery or the 5 day pouch test. well everytime I try to do this I get the shakes and weak. I get up every morning at 5:30 no matter weekend or not.by 7 or 8 not good time during the week because I am on the bus. I get the shakes and weak. I have tried it serveral time on the weekend and I cant do it.. I know it has something to do with my blood sugar being low.. Dayna says for me not to do it. Does anyone esle have this problem. I get this even if I do the protein shakes with jus****er? any suggestions on a different way to try it.. Happy Easter No liquid diet today

Barb, I did it yesterday, and was surprized on how good i felt.  but I did feel weird in the head.  hard to explain, my ears were blocked, slight headache (not bad), little light headed, but no I agree with you, I wouldn't do it driving the bus, althought i didn't feel this way till later in the day.  If they tell you not to do it you don't need to you are doing just great without it.  have a happy easter.  cheryl

I would not do that myself but skip the fluids stage and maybe do just the mushy diet phase if you wanna back track a bit. You don't want to cause health problems now that you have lost so well So please eat even if it is just minimal.

RNY on 11/21/07 with
I  have  a  shake most mornings   but i get up at  4 am  and  by  5 am it is time to have  a shake. But at  8 30  i have a  milk as my pouch is getting empty  and i wont make it till lunch if i dont put something in it. If i am not having  a protein shake that early  I have  milk and  then some cranberry juice and when i get home i have cereal. That is how i handle  the shakes. Hope it helps. I even have milk before bedtime because my pouch is real empty by that time.  and that hold me thru the nite plus gives me my second milk for  the day.

I have this problem also...low blood glucose.  I was told to eat ever 2.5 - 3 hours and make sure my meals include carb/protein together.  Even snacks.  I love my DD lattes so I have them in between meals which means skim milk.  This helps me. 




Remember....when life hands you Lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!
