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 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.

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.

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.

      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.
