I have this killer headache today. It is day one of my pre-op diet, so maybe it is from no caffeine? Tylenol hasn't helped it at all. Has anyone else had this? So far, I haven't minded the day - no hunger, so that is good. If I could just get this headache to go away!!!

I just went through the beginning of the preop(on day 5 now) The caffeine detox was pretty bad. I was a 10 diet coke a day guy prior. It will get better after a few days. If I had to do it again, I would have forced myself to detox prior to the preop diet.

I have been using essential oils to help with numerous things. I am a consultant for DoTerra. Past Tense oil blend is great for headaches!!! Helped tremendously when I went off caffeine. And most of all it's all natural!!Check out my website www.mydoterra.com/tiffanylippert

Omg. Days 1-3 were killer. I wasn't a soda or coffee drinker but I was a carb freak. I must've been getting all the carbs n sugar out of my system Bc it felt like my head was in a vice.

      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.
