First day of liquid diet and I have a headache and hungry :( Does it get any easier?

I had a headache throughout, but the hunger left almost entirely by day three for me. The headache will probably get better as time goes by, I think mine was from caffeine withdrawal, so if that's the case for you a few sips of black coffee (yuck) will really help. Or you might just be a little dehydrated, so make sure you're drinking plenty of Water. Water also helps some with the hunger, and if you drink your shakes and eat your food really really slowly, that will also help the hunger. Hang in there! It will get better.

Days 1, 2, & 4 were the worst for me. Day 3 and the others weren't so bad. Before you know it you'll be on the other side. Hang in there! ;)

      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.
