Ouch sorry I know what it feels like-I awoke with one this morn but thank God it was gone in an hour (must have been sinus related). I had a headache that lasted 3 days last wee,(more likely migraine!) Let me know what Dr. Aceves recommends. Hope you feel better soon.

My doc okayed me for liquid Tylenol (NSAID's like ibuprofen and so on are supposedly off limits, at least according to Dr. L). It works great for the occasional mild allergy headache. It actually seems to hit me quicker than the pills did, which is usually a blessing when I have a headache that needs knocking out!

Thanks, I choked down some liquid tylenol (BLAH!!!) and hope to get some relief soon. With this headache and weakness, this has not been a good day. Got my Protein Shake in this morning but slept all day after that so I am playing a little catch up nutrition wise.

Thanks Stacey! I start mushies on Sunday so I have been planning pretty steadily to make sure I make good choices. Also, about every 4th day I am gonna kick up the carbs past 30 grams to see if that keeps things moving. I am afraid that my body is really gonna start holding onto everything soon!

Wow, it has been 5 weeks for you!!! Time sure flies once you are sleeved, doesn't it?

Kicking up the carbs may be helpful. Boy.... my body just did a complete freeze at about three weeks. No matter what I did..... I think I have broken the stall but I don't know. I am not weighing because it was making me a little nuts. Its certainly a lot easier to make good choices now that I can have solid food.

When I was stalled I was so tired.... I could barely exercise without wanting to faint or puke. It was like my body was just not willing to let go of any of its reserves for energy (and I have plenty to spare).

Now when I exercise I can feel when my body kicks in and starts burning... so I think that means my furnace is going again.

Not sure though... I just know I have to stay away from that scale if I want to stay sane. :scared0:

      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.
