20 grams of protein a day

Sep 07, 2013

I am starving. My physicians pre-op diet consists of only 20 grams of protein. Most of the shakes contain that in one serving with only 6 oz of fluid. No juices. Only water or milk (which counts as a protein so then you are over). I can have broth (counts towards protein), sugar free jello (unlimited but I hate jello), sugar free pudding (counts towards protein) or sugar free ice pops. 

On day two and i have dark rings under my eyes already. Gained 6 lbs instead of loosing which was the point of me starting my diet earlier. Frustrated. hungry. grumpy and feeling weak. Need to drink at least 64 oz of water/fluids. I drink way more than that. Usually i drink 126 oz of water a day.  8 more days of this shit.

Is anyone else,s doctors this strict on the liquid diet?
