On day 2 of pre op diet. Why does this non caffeine drinker have such a bad headache for the 2nd day on a row??

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
