pre op diet, no energy

[candie]

I started the 800 cal pre op diet last Fri, and am really really tired and dizzyI know it's not as harsh as some of the other diets, so am lucky really, and am dreading the soup and jelly thing from this fri onwards
Any tips to feel better?I am just off to get some lovely veg soup lizzie bee has made for usIsn't she a sweetie

Hi hun the only thing i could really say is to drink loads of water or sugar free squash to make sure u r very hydrated as its really hot now and the combination of the heat and lack of cals could def make u feel weak and if you up ur water it might give u a boost,and maybe make some ice lollys out of sugar free squash.
Soz i dont have any more ideas i did not just want to read and run, am sure some of the experienced peeps will be along soon with some tips for you.
Take care luv Roch xxx

It gets easier! Day 3-4 is the hardest, and then you'll pick up. By the time you go on to clear fluids you'll feel fine. Just stick with it and don't push yourself. Plenty of fluids and stay focused.

the girls are right - keep drinking fluids, stay out of the heat and hang in there - it will get easier as it goes along.

Good luck with the diet - I think the ice lolly idea is a good one - make it much stronger than you would drink because the freezing process kills the sweetness. Mxx

As the other have said just make sure you keep the fluid intake up. You've waited so long for this Candie and now its in reach you must be so excited. Good luck and hope you feel brighter soon.
