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 :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
