Bemabound 11 Posted July 24, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LVikingFan 14 Posted July 25, 2011 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sugarmamma7 2 Posted July 30, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
