Well, you need more Water. You may be slightly dehydrated which could explain the headaches. Also, your Protein is incredibly low. My Protein Drink alone has 32 gm's in it, and that is just one. By 15 weeks post op you really need to get that protein in now that you can! You are under the recommendations at just 45g a day. Also, have you considered a certain type of food you may be eating causing your headaches? I know that nightshades or eating more carbs or starches than protein can do it for some people, it's almost autoimmune.

Good luck, and stay well!

I'd agree - we should be consuming 64oz of Water per day, with or without the sleeve - and that's a minimum!

Also, my NUT has me on a minimum of 70g of Protein per day...most days I exceed that.

If you're following the recommendations you were given, try exceeding them and see what happens!

You may be in ketoses and HA's are a side effect of that. Your burnin fat and that's a good thing right now.......it will get better, I took tylenol and it helped a lot. :)

      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.
