Hey you, sorry you're feeling so crappy :lol: I started getting headaches and feeling crappy around day 5. On the morning of day 6, I woke up head hurtin, feeling lite headed, and pretty shakey.:thumbup: Called the doc and i was told my sugar was down. they said to eat just a little yogurt to bring myself back and it worked but those couple days were not cool at all!!! And I think the tired all the time feeling I had was just because I was at home w/nothin to do and maybe feeling kinda lazy too :laugh:

The headaches can be related to not getting enough liquids. They give you an estimate of the amount of liquids you should have, if you aren't getting them that can cause the headaches. The fatique is the adjustment to not getting that many calories. I had the same problem. I am going into week two tomorrow and I am still feeling light headed and tired. I am on mushy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
