Yesterday was my first pre op liquid day.....and it was kind of rough. Not at first really but as the day went on. By bedtime I was hungry, dizzy and shaky and I had a headache. Slept for 3hours then woke up nauseous and still with a headache. Hoping today will be a little better....or will it be worse?

The first few days are often rough. I hope today is better but it might not be. By tomorrow or the next day, it should be getting easier, though.

Take a nap today if you can. Drink as much water as you can, because that will help with the dizziness and headache and nausea. Try drinking part of a protein shake when you get that shaky feeling, it will help keep your blood sugar steady.

Just a thought...are you maybe feeling the effects of caffeine withdrawal? It sounds exactly what I went through a few years ago when I had to go off caffeine cold turkey. Pre op I started reducing my intake a month out and was down to decaf by surgery.
