Day 4 of pre op diet...feeling so tired and headachey

I am on 3 weeks of protein shakes and low sodium/no fat broth. Is there anything that can help with feeling lousy..or is it just the way it is?

Taking in 1000-1200 cal per day 133gr of protein ..taking multivitamin, Vit D and Calcium.  I've lost 8 lbs in 4 days..which is exciting.

Why are you on low sodium? Sodium is important, and you really need it if you're on a low carb diet. A low carb diet is diuretic and you need to replace the fluids AND the electrolytes that get flushed out with them. Sometimes people call it "Atkins Flu." A cup of broth a day will make a big difference.

I am taking one cup of broth a day..was worried about electrolytes and sodium...maybe I'll add a tiny bit of salt to it. Not sure how to add in electrolytes though?

Sodium is an electrolyte and it is the easiest and cheapest to add in. There is NO need for reduced sodium broth or just to add a "tiny bit" of salt. Just get garden variety bouillon and drink at least a cup a day. I drink it whenever I get a headache and it really does help.

I found that the first 3-4 days of my pre-op diet were sucky, but it got much better afterward.  

I have 3 more days left of 4 weeks of glucerna and boost and water only. If this was your first break from caffeine that might be giving you the headaches. Hang in

I can't believe how amazing a cup of reg chicken broth tastes lol...sure made a difference in how I was feeling!
