liquid diet headache



Recommended Posts

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 had a headache starting on day 1 of my liquid diet. All I did was take some tylenol and then just waited it out. Mine only lasted about a day and a half or so. Your body is trying to adjust to the shock of no sugars, carbs and the like. It will get much better.

Mine hit me about day 3 as well, hunger headache. It lasted about a day or two if I remember correctly. It will go away. I too took some tylenol (which doesn't work very well...)

I had a slight headache on day 1 and day 2... but it was not so bad I needed to take anything. Did you gave up caffeine at the same time? Coming off caffeine will give you terrible headaches!! As long as your blood pressure isn't high...there shouldn't be too much to worry about.

The day 3 headache!! Your body is getting rid of the extra stuff you have been putting in it. Less calories, less sugar... You can take Tylenol but it probably wont help much. Sorry. Its like going through withdrawals. It should only last a day or 2 then you should be fine. Good luck!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
