So I get these terrible headaches' date=' And I just got sleeved 10/30/12, has anyone experienced the horrible headaches? I need to get some stool softeners also. When they say liquid foods after 1 week, would that be 11/06 for me, cream Soups, Mashed potatoes.[/quote']

Are you taking the dissolvable peppermint flavored nausea pill? (Sorry- don't know the name off hand) one of the major side effects of it is headaches.

Also even minor dehydration can cause a headache.

My date was 10/31, I've had a couple of headaches too- I'm on liquids for 2 weeks- but I have my follow up Friday and I'm doing well so I'm hoping they'll let me add like yougert and scrambled eggs then.

Goal for carbs 82 an Protein only 22. I'm trying to figure out a way that I can change it on my own to reflect my lifestyle but u guess it creates it for u based on ur weight...

Don't get discouraged! My scale went up 2 lbs (prob. water) and I know it is just a matter of time before I lose it and several more pounds. It has to go down! There's only 1 way for it to go from now on and that's down!

Hi Ladyt,

I was sleeved 10/22/12. For the first week I had a constant headache. I'm not sure if it was from being put under , or from the pain mess in the hospital. But after about three days at home it went away and I felt so much better. Losing the headache made a world of differance . Try hard to keep up on your Water intake , I just kept telling myself it was helping flush all the chemicals out. Hang in there, you'll feel so much better soon!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
