Pre-Op Diet - Day 12 & A Question

I'm on Day 12 of my Pre-Op Diet. It's been hard but I'm doing it! Only 2 more days of this and I'll be ready for my surgery!!!

But the question I have is... I've felt lightheaded all day. The same way I felt before when I would skip a meal. But this whole time I've been on the pre-op diet my protein supplement drinks have been satisfying me. But it's like today I feel like I haven't ingested a thing! Anyone else experience this?

increase your water intake and your protein intake - one or the other could be the cuplrit

I will try that! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Thank you!

Have another protein drink per day, or more water like said above.  Also make sure that you are using the "freebies" (chicken brooth, sugar free jello, etc).

You will get through this, we all have already.  To be honest this is the hard part.

I wasn't sure about adding another protein drink. My pre-op diet is well written. And it says to substitute 2 meals per day with 2 protein drinks. And then my 3rd meal has to be 200-300 calories, less than 15 grams of carbs, and 15-20 grams of protein.

Try eating Sugar Free popsicles. They will give you more fluid and also make you feel like you are actually eating something. Good luck!

Hi Laura ,
