I have been on it since Wednesday - this is day three and I am miserable - headachey and no energy.  Good thing is with all the protein shakes I am not really hungry.

When is your surgery?  

Your headache should get better.  Your body is adjusting to the protein shakes.  If you were eating simple carbs before the pre-op diet, that can also be some of the cause of your headaches.  As to energy, everyone is different. 

Look ahead to having your surgery.  The pre-op diet will be worth it when you're post-op and losing weight.

Tuesday!!  That's in just a few days so you can see the light at the end of the pre-op diet.

I'm glad you're feeling better.

I really believe that the pre-op diet was harder than anything post-surgery.  Yeah, the physical recovery took a little time, but when it comes to eating, it's not like that pre-op diet.  Just four more days!

I can't speak for the pre-op diet because I haven't done it yet, but I will say to just keep on keeping on.  Being whiny is OK, it sounds like it sucks. When getting pregnant for the first time, every woman feels like she is the only one that has ever gone through her symptoms because it's the first time she's having them.  But you're not alone. Many have gone before and many will come after you.  You're paving the way to give good advice later on.

Hope you're feeling better by today. I'm on day 11 of my pre-op diet. It definitely got better around day 4! Only 3 more days to go for me! Good luck!
