I think it is due to the lack of carbs. I had a headache for a couple days, too. Days 1-4 were hard for me, but it got easier at day 5. I'm on day 9 out of 10 now. Surgery on Tuesday!

I have a pretty lax pre op too! 13 days of low carb high Protein foods or shakes whatever I choose then 1 day of bowel prep. I've only lost 7 pounds but I've lost a clothes size. I've focused more on exercise than strict diet. I don't eat horrible but not strict on a plan. I do exercise 3-4days a week and get in at least 7000 steps a day when not exercising. I can only thank God for the ability to do things I haven't done in years. All in preparation for this surgery. This surgery is going to help us do so much . I can't wait to see what God has in store. :)

Hey, Teracia! I'm not nervous at all about tomorrow's surgery, but I feel like a pregnant woman who is "nesting". I'm trying to get everything in order at home before tomorrow (laundry, cleaning, etc.) Thoughts and prayers for you to have a successful surgery and a speedy recovery! Let's keep in touch.

      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.
