I'm on day 3 of my pre op diet and I feel HORRIBLE

[spoiltmom 44]

I have a headache and I'm very sick to my stomach. I'm drinking my Protein Shakes and getting my Water in it.

This will pass right?

:cursing: Did you drink caffiene before, and are you drinking anything with caffiene now? Could cause headaches if you cut it out cold turkey!

When my sister had her band done she had trouble feeling sick just drinking the shakes, she thinks it was because she wasn't that into sweet stuff, especially in the mornings..., I didn't have any problems like that, but when she was able to start with the soft foods she felt better.

Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon.

Yeah I'm on no caffeine and I normally drink Diet Dr Pepper, coffee and Tea. Maybe I just need a little caffeine? My doctor allows caffeine but you have to drink either tea or coffee and for the pre op part he wants it unsweetened and I can't do that. I like it with Splenda in it instead.

[JoanieP 2]

I think I would drink alittle coffee with the splenda or something in it...are you sure your dr didn't mean just no sugar? Maybe you can try a half a no-doze pill (it's just caffiene)...see if that helps with the headaches at least...Good Luck!

later, Joanie :cursing:)

It will pass .

Look back at some of your very recent posts and remember how anxious you were to be approved and to be right where your at now.

If none of the above suggestions work take a nice shower and turn in early.

Tomorrow will be a better day.

When I get to this point that is exactly what I will be doing when the going get's rough.

I'm on day 2 and I was thinking the same thing this afternoon! I went back to read my preop diet and I thought I could only have 1 frozen meal with my shakes, but it turns out I can have 2! I wasn't getting enough food! I'm glad I caught that on day 2 and not day 14 or I would have been dragging! Your BMI is similiar to mine, maybe you are not getting enough... just a thought!

You are so right about that! I want this so badly!

[msdv 5]

I know you want it bad.

Immerse yourself in what your doing for yourself. That's why I'm on here all day.

I also loved checking out the vids on Youtube..talk about encouragement. There is a great inspiration on there , her name is skymoon1982. She's about your age and did the pre-op liquid diet through Christmas and New Years without a smitch of cheating.

Check out BandedWendy too she just made goal and is getting married.

I was extremely miserable when I started the Optifast full. I'm on day 9 and still feel bad. I can't wait to be banded next wed. Are you eating any food? I am not!

Today is day 12 for me and I had a Migraine for the first three days. I can't drink coffee unless it has lots of Creamer and real sugar, I can' t do splenda nor stevia in coffee. So I was low carb, high Protein and no coffee.

After the first three days I felt a lot better, and as long as I "ate" every three hours and kept my Water intake up and gelt fine, just a lot of mouth hunger. But on the positive side, I had my preop appointment today. I needed to lose 4 pounds and I lost 11!! Woohoo!!

So keep your eye on your goal, really it does get better!

Way to go!! I think I've finally figured it out. I drink a shake and then a few hours later I have some chicken broth. I alternate those every few hours and so far it's working great for me!
