I Need Help....



Recommended Posts

I am on day 2 of my pre op diet. Yesterday went really well today I have a horrible headache! Any ideas to help with the headaches...I took over counter Migraine twice today. Took two more in 24 hours then I was supposed to but I have to get rid of this...still have it.

It is probably coming off carbs and sugar.. Drink lots of Water and it will help.. Everyday it will get better.

It is much easier after surgery..

If it's caffeine withdrawal...there's almost nothing that helps but time. Water is your best bet, I believe also. There is a definite detox effect in the pre op diet. Just something you have to push through. :(

I'm on my preop diet as well and also have wicked headaches. I didn't drink hardly any caffeine the last two weeks before I starting my preop so I don't think mine is caffeine withdrawal. I saw my surgeon today and he said to drink more Water and add an extra Protein Shake if needed. I'm miserable!!

Try to wean off of aspirin and ibuprofen cuz you will not be able to take it after surgery. You will need to switch to Tylenol. You need to drink more Water.< /p>

I had a headache for the first few days of my preop diet then they went away my dr warned us of this due to detox and carb/sugar withdrawals just take some Tylenol those first few days you'll be fine !

I found that by adding just 1 more Protein Drink, it helped with the headaches.

      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.
