I am on day 3 of a 10 day liquid diet (carnation, etc) and I have a raging headache. I NEVER get headaches. Has anyone else had this and what to do to relieve the pain? I don't want to take too much Tylenol but if thats all I can do. HELP!!! ANY suggestions appreciated!

I started the 10 day liquid diet yesterday and no, I did NOT ease into it. I am already getting sick of the Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes so why start them early? I am not sure if I can actually DO this for 10 days. (well 8 days now) but I am going to try. I also bought some optifast which I mix with ice and water in a blender and it is wonderful. I may try some broth tonight because something warm in my stomach would be nice. I already feel like my clothes are loose. Does beer count as a liquid? Just kidding gave that up a week ago.

I hear ya-he can be helping himself out more especially at 16-he plays football so it seems like he is ALWAYS hungry (which does not help me) I just need to decide that I can do this because food is always going to be around and I am going to need to deal with that. I am a single mom so I do most of the cooking unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestions-we are both going to be eating healthier from here on in! Hope you are doing well with your journey!

You are lucky. I am on day two of a 10 day liquid diet. I have a 16 year old son who I have to cook for so this is going to be interesting. I WISH I only had to do three days! Hang in there!

10 days til my surgery and I just started my liquid diet. I can do this RIGHT? I am so excited to have this done. WHat a life changing experience this has been for me. Becoming more aware of why I eat and when I am TRULY hungry. I am so ready for this......

I am scheduled for surgery on October 29th. I am worried that I will not be able to do the 10 days of liquids before. Any suggestions?

thank you, you are right, just do it. Hearing from others is good so as to not feel so all alone-thanks again,

Do I tell my sister about my surgery or not? She is a very negative person and had gastric bypass 5 years ago and still suffers from throwing up and is pretty miserable. I dont need any negativity around me and I want this to be a success!!! Help!

All I can think about is the surgery. My date is October 29th. Hope I can do a 10 day liquid diet. The only people I have told is a couple of close friends (one of which had this done) and my mom. I am afraid to tell my sister becuz she had gastric bypass 5 years ago, and still suffers symptoms (throwing up) and I think she is going to be negative about this when I tell her. I HAVE to tell her though since she is my ride to the hopsital. WHat do I DO?????

I had to wait too but only 10 weeks. I think it its good to have time to prepare and to be ready both mentally and physically. I am scheduled on October 29th with Dr Svendsen. I am excited and nervous. This is going to be a big step and a much needed change for me. Good luck with everything!

I am scheduled for October 29th. Worried about doing the liquid diet for 10 days. Can I do this???? SOme people have mentioned Optifast-where can you buy this? I am in Minnesota

how did your 10 days of liquids before the sugery go? I am scheduled for Oct 29th at Park Nic and the team does seem wonderful

I am having surgery on October 29th. I also am going thru the Park Nic team which seams wonderful. How did your 10 days of liquids go before surgery? Any suggestions?
