Has anyone had bad headaches during first days of liquid diet? If so what was your remedy? This is day 4 and it is better so far. Bright side is I have lost 5 lbs so far. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am drinking some but not a lot because I am full in between Protein Drinks. I feel good other than the headaches. I don't drink caffeine coffee, but I did od on carmel trapped all weekend. I will hydrate more the rest of today and see how it goes. It is better today on day 4 so I am sure more Water will help. Thanks for the reply!!!!

You have to drink alot of Water the first few days, because, you body is going through a cleaning process and all the toxins are coming out, which causes headaches. Plus, the more water you drink, the more you stay hydrated.

I thought I was going to die the first 3 days! It was horrible, the headache the tired feeling. I think its carb withdrawal. If you are getting your fluids (and I assume you are because you're on a liquid diet) then its just time. I felt better on day 4 and continued to feel better each day.

      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.
