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.

      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.
