You can do this.... One day at a time

The headaches are usually due to a reduction of sodium and sugar in your diet. I struggle with that too. Mustering the strength to eat right is hard enough, and then I get a splitting headache... Ugh.

To get through it I try to think about all the pain I'll be in after surgery and how exhausted and achy my body will be from the salt, sugar and calorie reductions. I imagine those first few months will be the hardest. Think of these headaches as practice for harder times... And never lose sight of the better times that will follow them. :)

I gave up pop the day of surgery... I know .. Shame on me... But the pain meds and just being totally out of it after surgery helped me with that... I never did get a headache

6 month diet is this for your surgery....im in Hawaii and all I had to do was take meal sub shakes for one week

I'm in Hawaii, too. Did you have your surgery at Pali Momi? If so, that's where I will be having mine (if I'm approved). :)

I have my consult on Wednesday, 11/28; and my nutritionist and psych meetings the next day on the 29th. I've also requested for my records to be sent to my surgeon, so that's about all I can do right now. I expect to be scheduling my endoscopy soon, and possibly a sleep study to check for sleep apnea.

      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.
