I started my liquid diet today and didn't do so well. I had a slim fast low carb diet drink for breakfast which was nasty and was sick most of the morning from it. I got really weak and ended up ending a chicken breast for lunch. I feel so guilty. I don't think I can drink the slim fast stuff. I have the isopure dutch chocolate powder that I think I will try tomorrow. I don't know if I can live. Why did I feel so bad today and have a horrible headache. I was so weak this afternoon and didn't have any energy. I go for my pre-op appt tomorrow and will ask the surgeon. Has anyone else had a hard time with the liquid diet before surgery?

Carb detox often causes headaches and flu-like symptoms, from what I hear.
You may have to ride it through, no matter how tough.
Hang in there, you will get used to it.

That Slim Fast low carb stuff IS nasty. Just had some the other day. YEEECH!!!! I usually drink a can or two of chocolate or strawberry Atkins a day. It's not too bad. Don't get a whole lot of anything, just go slow and make sure it's really cold! Usually you can find something tolerable.

I recommend these:

EAS ADVANT EDGE - CARB CONTROL ready made protein shakes ......

here is the mfg site, i get them in walmart:

EAS.com | ENERGY-ATHLETICS-STRENGTH

hugs
pre op liquid diets are hard and im glad i only
had to drop weight and not do liquids only!
BE prepared for the side effects of eating
this way...its usually flu like symptoms
the first 4 or 5 days!
headaches, body aches.......blah....
but it leaves and u feel better
