Am I supposed to feel like this?

Although my doctor doesn't require it, I decided to try to loose some weight before surgery. I started a modified liquid diet on Tuesday 2 -3 protein shakes a day, SF pops, SF jello, broth and a light diner = chicken, vege etc. I have dropped 2lbs. but I feel like crap. More like thats all I do is crap. My not so little toosh is on fire.

Did others feel this way and is this what I should expect until my body gets acclimated?

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Oh and my butt thanks you too!

You just shocked your system. You need a true pre-op eating plan. I can't believe your doctor doesn't have you on one... How odd. My plan had me on a pre-op diet for five months before surgery. I lost 100 pounds, on that and 30 prior to that for 130 pounds lost pre-op. That's tooting my own horn, but losing weight pre-op helped me have a successful surgery. I don't understand how a surgeon wouldn't require a pre-op diet...

When your diet is liquids, you need to add fiber or all you'll do is run to the bathroom. And I do mean run! Why don't you try the health post-op diet? Lean proteins, veggies, complex carbs. Keep the calories at about 1000 to 1100 or 1200.

I did contact my Nut and she suggested the post-op diet = lean meats, veges, small portions, 64 oz fluids etc. I am going to follow that with maybe one shake a day. I have my nutrition class on January 20th.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
