Pre-Op liquid diet
So I am on the 5th day of my liquid diet and it sucks bad!! lol I know it doesn't last forever and I know I can do it. The only thing I'm having an issue with is I just don't want to eat or drink anything. (I think the main reason is I don't like anything I am allowed. Lol) My diet allows for 2 protein shakes, 1 soup (can be hearty soup) and 1-2 snacks of the usual stuff. I am just wondering if me not drinking enough is going to effect me on actual surgery day. Has anyone else experienced this while going through the pre-op diet?
yes you need to stay hydrated , they can give you iv fluids but may cancel your surgery if your very dehydrated
keep sipping water , call your surgeons office if you need to adjust what your allowed
I was allowed 2 shakes and 1 tv diner a day but had 1/2 fruit added when I was getting headaches (im diabetic )
I am about week in on my liquid pre-op diet. My sugery is next Monday the 19th. I totally agree with you that IT SUCKS! The first 3 days had a raging migraine. What's the worst is I've barely lost 2 lbs! But I'm thinking my period is coming to and I always gain before that. I keep trying to sip sip sip like they say you need to do after surgery just to get me in the habit. I'm also having a hard time and the first few days I didn't frink any extra water and I think that contributed to the migraine. I jsut keep thinking of the long term goal and just make myself sip sip sip. GOOD LUCK!!
