Nina,

I just was sleeved on Thurs (thanks for the support on the Firecrackers site), I know this part can be a challenge but you are almost there! Something everyone kept saying was..."are you excited!"...well no,,,that was not my primary thought...I told my husband on the way to the hospital that my thoughts are DETERMINATION and RESOLVE!!!!! That is what this takes.....set yourself like stone to power through and you will be succesful! Come on over to the loser bench with me! Tracy W.

I started my three day liquid diet and I was fine until this afternoon when I got a splittling headache :( I can't even have proteing shakes. I feel so weak and dizzy. Two more days of this not sure if I can do this. I know I have too, but this would be so much better without the headache. Feel so weak blah Any suggestions or just plain support would be so helpful thank in advance ;)

Not to mention its that time of the month uhh!

Try Powerade Zero. No calories but all the other stuff is there.

I am with you too, but my doctor has me on this preop diet for A WHOLE MONTH!. Ugh. The office sells food replacements so basically I am on a 600 cal/day diet for a month that consists only of specific :

Bouillon

Protein Bars/Shakes

bouillon

pudding

Water

I go from thinking... I can do this.... this isn't too bad.... to.... I CANT DO IT ANYMORE!!!!.... and I am only on the first week.

I agree with the above posters, though... I would bet that your headache is caffeine withdrawal. I had a wicked headache for a few days and nausea when I gave up caffeine. Fortunately, though I went through that a couple months back so I am not dealing with that at the same time.

Good luck... I will be thinking of you.

thank you and I hope you do well too :)

      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.
