I am on day 2 of my 3 day liquid diet and I have the worst headache! My surgeon does not require a pre op diet and I was going to do the 3 days of liquids, but I want food already!

Did u quit caffiene ahead of time? If not it may be that. I had a carb headache from no sugar, so that is possible too. It is gonna catch up eventually. Try just a couple of sips of coffee or fruit juice.< /p>

I'm sure it's caffeine withdraw....ugh its aweful!

I did it ahead of time and slowly. Im a coffee hound, so I went with half caff for a couple of weeks and then started drinking all Decaf. I suggest that to anyone reading this!!! Carb withdrawl is bad enough. Im not quite a week past surgery and still getting headaches... but they ciuld be much worse. Im glad I prepared as much as I did.

If ur not required a preop diet. Why r u following one??

[stephg 34]

I'm just trying to do one on my own to help shrink my liver some. Even tho my surgeon doesn't require it, I figure it can't hurt anything. I am just scared of complications and willing to do whatever to prevent them.

[dcancel1 14]

I may need to do that. I'm not required either. What type of preop diet r u doing?

[stephg 34]

I'm just doing the Protein Shakes twice a day and one small low carb meal. Lots of Water and of course mag citrate to clean me out. It's probably the nurse in me but I feel it's better than nothing!?!

Sending up prayers for your successful surgery also...they key in my opinion is to go slowly with your sips and to start walking the minute your doctor lets u out of bed. Best wishes

Thanks so much I will walk as soon as they get me started and actually I am a little scared with the whole drinking after surgery so I guess after Thursday I will be able to encourage others god willing

My surgery is tomorrow. I have so much nervous energy. I think I have done 6-10 loads of laundry. I stopped counting at 5. I have made lists for both kids for everything under the sun about their daily activities for my husband and mother in law. I still can't wrap my head around surgery being tomorrow morning. Can't wait to get healthy!!!!!

No preop diet, but I am going to take it easy tonight. I have to be at the hospital by 5:45-6am. Omg!!!!! So much nervous energy I don't know what to do with myself. I am going to start cleaning when everyone wakes up. I think

It might be all the snow we got lastnight, as well. Sorry I am rambling.
