surgery April 4th!

I am having my sleeve done on April 4th. My Dr requires 3 weeks pre-op liquid protein shakes diet. I am on day 3 and have a horrible headache, feel shaky and very nauseous. They said we are allowed crystal light, so I have added sf popsicles and sf jello. I am super excited about surgery, I am concerned about making that far on shakes only. Any suggestions would be so helpful!

You should start feeling better in a day or so. My worst days were the first three. Just keep plugging along, your body is detoxing, and when you cut carbs like that your body hates you. Hang in there and good luck!

This was true for me also. I've done juice cleanses a couple times over the years (thank God I won't do that anymore!) and I got the headaches and dizziness.
Congrats on your decision! It was the best one I ever made.

Thank you! Day 4 and pressing on. The 4th seems so far away, 17 more days. I am trying to focus on 1 day at a time so I don't feel so overwhelmed. It helps to get input and encouragement!!
