Help I Want To Give Up



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 3 of pre op Protein shakes I'm just getting over a cold and I'm so tired. I have had a headache for 2 1/2 days I'm feeling low and tired and I can't help but think I hope it's better after surgery. If its not I can't live this way. I can't stand the constant headache. Am I the only one that has a constant headache does it go away?????

It took me until day 4 until the headache went away. It gets better but the preop liquid diet is the worst... Depending on your Dr you will need to be prepared for 2-3 weeks of liquid on the other side as well. But when its all over....you will have lost weight, learned that food is just fuel and I bet you will applaud yourself for achieving this goal.

Best of luck.

When you detox from sugar you get a headache. Remember this when someone tells you you took the easy way out......How bad do you want this.. thats the question. Not sure but I think I took an excedrin . It gets better... that that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Time to suck it up.. you will feel so much better when you win this battle.

detoxing doesn't last long but a hot shower then an ice pack and a nap helps me ( I have migrains often) Hang in there it will get better I promise. it is so worth it...if you drank a lot of coffee and aren't now it could also be that have a cup or two. line dancer

Kc1 not to worry you body is going through detox. Getting rid of all the toxics in your body. I had a headache for three days, it does go away.

Also hang in there you can do this, we have all gone through it. Get your friends and family on board to help support you. We are here for you as well. I would freeze crystal light and Water in ice cubes. When I wanted to eat something I would eat them. It does help a lot. Do things that take your mind off eating. Stay strong your not alone.

      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.
