I am on the Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar added) 6x's a day w/ my skim milk! I can have bullion (low fat), SF Jello, SF ice pops, Decaf coffee & tea! Yesterday and today I have been feeling exausted & slight headaces!! I don't know if it is the Pre-op diet or what? I know it says a side effect can be dizziness & headaces to call Dr! So I don't want to do anything because it could be my nerves too!! Can any of you give me advice or any of you had close to the same pre-op diet??

The headaches can be from not having sugar. I had one the first 4 days on and off. The bullion helped with dizziness some. I did a different diet but it was not too far off. If they say to call the doc then I would! He may add in some protein.

i agree with the previous poster... call your dr. I remember feeling the same - i slept so much....

Also for consideration is you could be:
1. dehydrated - try increasing your water or sugar free juices
2. lacking vitamins - are you taking multi vitamins and/or supplements? I find b-12 (sub-lingual) helps me keep my energy up

Good luck - hope you feel better.
