Hunger during the pre-op diet phase.

I've just started my pre-op diet this week and I am so hungry a couple of times a day that I am nauseous and have a horrible, almost debilitating, headache. I'm intaking every 3 hours with an OptiFast protein item and am filling in twice a day with a serving of cucumber, celery, or sugar free jello. How long will this sick feeling last?

Drink as much as you can - water and other calorie free drinks. The first 3-4 days are the worst and then it'll get better.

look at the ingredients, OptiFast is full of sugar and artificial sugar... if you have a sensitivity, that could explain your headaches...and drink lots and lots of water!
