I was on liquid for 2 weeks preop and had a headache from hell the first 4 days. Dr said it was caffeine and sugar withdrawals which is kind of an eye opener to think your body is addicted to caffeine and sugar ...but it was. By the 5th day it subsided. I hope yours does too.

Good luck on your journey, u can look it up on your comp or even go to the library & check if they have the book. I tried that diet b4 & that's where i found it.... Good luck :-)

i was on Protein shakes 2 weeks before my surgery, i had a headache for about 3 -4 days. it's your body missing that yummy addicting sugar and caffeine. it should subside in a couple of days, keep hydrated. if i'm not mistaken adkins is about Protein, so have some slices of turkey, ham, or peanuts on hand. there's plenty of books that can help you out on the do's & don't of the adkins.

Good luck

It is great to know that others are going through this. I quit drinking any soda over a year ago but i love my sugar. I didn't call my dr about it but it is nice to know why I have had the headaches.

Me too I did have one that I really liked it was pure Protein 100% whey protein but ran out and went back to Walmart to get some more and of course they didn't have it so grabbed some other that looked similar and I Hate It! My husband is doing the liquid diet with me and he isn't usually picky about his Protein drinks and he hates it too! So I need to find something else I like.

      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.
