Diet-Headache And Hungry



Recommended Posts

I started the liquid diet yesterday to try to loose at least 15 pounds. I do not need to do the liquid diet yet because I don't have a date yet. I am just trying to loose the minimum amount of weight my surgeon said I would need to loose before surgery.

I woke up this morning with a headache and hungry. I had my morning shake and a bottle of Water. I took tylenol, but it is not helping with my headache.

How long will this last?

What shakes are you taking? Are they filling? From what I have read that should only happen the first two days till your body gets adjusted

Get lots of rest these first couple days. Everybody says the first 3 days are the hardest...

How do you make them? With just Water? Or do you put skim milk, and maybe add fruits?

The headaches are most likely from sugar or caffeine withdrawels...at least that is what I have seen and read alot. I personally dont drink coffee and very little soda but i am hoping when i have to do the liquid diet i dont encounter this. I am currently on medicine for my Migraines as it is!! It should be better in a few days just keep yourself hydrated and i find that Excedrine works the best for headaches (they were recalled off the shelf but the generic is the same). Good luck!

      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.
