Pre-op diet day one
sucked. When I read that starting the liquid diet can cause headaches, I wasn't expecting a full blown migraine. And of course I had no migraine meds with me at work. I had to come home early and spend four quality hours curled up in a dark room. Also, I am now out of imitrex. On the plus side, the nausea is making me less hungry.
I ordered a bunch of protein samples in preparation. Today I had the unjury chocolate splendor, syntrax peanut butter cookie, and syntrax vanilla bean torte. I was not impressed with any of them. I hope some of the other flavors are better. If not, I'm seriously tempted to just switch to drinking milk. It's eight grams of protein a cup, so I only need nine cups a day to meet my protein goals.
I really, really hope people are telling the truth when they say it gets better after the first three days.
Me TOO! My day 1 was yesterday on pre-op diet. Protein shakes and no coffee. I was awesome in the am with tea and surprised how easy it was... Then 1pm came around and I was crabby and had a terrible headache until I finally fell asleep last night. One thing that did help mix it up was a little chicken broth at night. I also have to say that I LOVE my protein shakes so that helps and I only mix them with water. Ready for day three :)
