first day on pre op liquid diet and I have a really bad headache
Arts137 replied to angel23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Unplesant but normal... You are clearing toxins from your body. Make it 3 or 4 days and it WILL get better. BUT if you add carbs back in you have to start the 3/4 days all over again, so try hard to press on through! -
And my plan ignores calories at this stage (and does so for 2 months!). Focus is on liquid and protein intake till all is well healed. Then we will shift to the meal plans and caloric intake... Remember, our new stomach is forever so there is no rush!

Rant away, girl. You are among knowledgeable friends here!!!

Consider buying "The Big Book of the Gastric Sleeve" or just explore the site. You'll find LOTS of good information! Welcome to you!

WHY? try it and see what your stomach says. But it may be the pukes (the stomach might not be able to get everything 'ground up' to pass into the small intestine). 'Course, you could just put the salad into a blender and go for it. Actually had a minced brocolli slaw (I am 3 weeks out) yesterday that went sown well.

It WILL get better. This may be the only time is is socially acceptable to burp and fart. So ENJOY!

You'll much better after 3 or 4 days! Follow ALL instructions, and take the pain Rx till you don't need it. Oh, WALK!

two thumbs up, dude! -
Don't let the scale fool you... It's when I seem to NOT lose pounds that I see inches go away (I did not lose ANY weight for 2 weeks after surgery). But now I only weigh once a week... helps me from going scale crazy!!!

Explain head-hunger?
Arts137 replied to need2bthin!'s topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The hormone (Ghrelin) plays some part in feeking hunger. Physical hunger. It's got NOTHING to do with the Taco Bell ad on TV that makes you crazy!!!
