liq diet

Dec 21, 2009

Today started my liquid diet and it was fine in the beginning because I mostly laid in my bed or sat down and watched t.v. and I had my pre op along with my pre-admission testing everything went fine until I got to work, I mostly work on my feet and after about an hour I was registering a patient and felt light headed and dizzy and had to sit down before i literally passed out, I am pretty sure this is not supposed to happen so I had to eat something which was small in portion and not to much, then laid my head down for 30 minutes and I gradually felt better, now I feel fine as if nothing ever happened but I have 2 weeks of this and I know I did not do anything wrong but I think the best thing for me to do is contact the doctors office in the morning.  This is my liquid diet:  sip on 2 eas advantage or 2 myoplex carb controlled shakes per day, every two hours consume one of the following a regular pop sickle, reg soda 4 oz, juice 4 oz, gatorade 4 oz,1/2 c cottage cheese,8 oz of skim milk, and 6 oz of lowfat yogurt.  Then again my problem could have been that I was at the hospital for four hours with nothing but crystal light.  I don't know but I never want to feel that way again
