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!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
