Horrible headaches, anyone else? On day 3 of my two week Protein shake/ veggie diet also can have sf popsicles, broth & sf Jello. I keep getting horrible headaches and am basically having to take Tylenol non stop...also keep feeling nauseous and weak. Hoping these feelings dont last the entire time. I have been drinking Water in abundance and still feel like i have dry mouth and just can't seem to get enough of it. Any advice??

I'm on day 2 of two week and am jealous of what you can have coley - I get Protein Drinks and 1 Protein Bar a day. I WILL do this but it's going to pure hell I can already tell. I know it's sugar. wheat, dairy, everything withdrawal but man I feel like crap. Cannot wait to be on the other side.

Hi Coley,

Are you also detoxing from caffeine? A few months before starting the lap band process I quit drinking coffee and soda. I had headaches and felt like I had the flu for almost a week. It was terrible. I basically popped Advil like it was candy and slept as often as I could. After a week it was out of my system and I felt human again.

I'm on day 9 of my pre-op diet. Since day 2 I have not had much of an appetite at all - though I really miss salty crunchy foods. My diet is 3 shakes, 2 bars, veggies, broth. I have lost 7 pounds. I'm not real impressed with the weightloss, as I expected to lose more, but oh well. Other than that I find I feel great all day but get tired and absolutely pass out much earlier than I did before the pre-op diet. I have eaten out 2 times in the last 4 days and managed to stick with all veggies and actually enjoy it. My doctor also required me to start getting Vitamin B shots because I was extremely low on B. I think that's helping me also.

Good luck everyone! Hang in there!

I think I am kinda detoxing from caffeine because I didn't stop soda until just a day before the pre op diet. Although I have still been having coffee in the morning, but my np said that I was allowed one cup a day even if it was a 16oz...but just no Creamer a splash of skim w/sweetener. Today the headaches have been somewhat better but still struggling.

I think we are all going through a huge withdrawal! Sugar , Processed foods , Salt :wub: , Comfort eating :ph34r: , coffee/pop the list goes on and on...and even if you are not going through a pre-op diet, you will be feeling these reductions after surgery. I feel really weird and shakey sometimes but each day I feel better. Best of luck everybody!

I ordered samples from Chike and tried the banana Protein shake this morning. Pretty good! I only have to do a liquid diet for the day prior' date=' but I thought I'd start incorporating a few shakes to get me used to the idea of a liquid diet. 9 days!!![/quote']

How Lucky are you! Been on a pre op diet for 13 days tomorrow is my last. Getting surgery Tuesday!!!! Wish me luck

Glad to hear I'm not the only one going through withdrawal but sorry everyone is suffering. Happy Birthday lupediva! Today I'm finally feeling a bit better, I'm on day 4. Hang in there June Buddies!

My surgery is June 25. I am on week 2 of the preop diet...ugh sick of the Protein Shakes. I had headaches the first few days but not from caffeine withdrawal I think it was from carb withdrawal! Good luck late June bandsters!
