Liquid Diet Headache and Nausea



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

My surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday and I started my 7 day liquid diet yesterday. I went to bed with no energy last night and woke up with the biggest headache. I feel so nauseous and weak. Anybody else experiencing this? Does it get better??

i tell u all drs are different.. Mine only required 3 days of liquid diet. id check you may need something small.. But don't just do it on your own cause if you mess up or eat if they don't want you to o even smoke they can and very well will cancel your surgery. So i would call and ask them.. ask about popsicle's that might help

I found the first three days to be a real challenge; also suffered headache and nausea. Drink a lot of Water, crystal light or Decaf tea. I found chicken broth to be rather satisfying and sugar-free popsicles good too.

Don't cheat. It's too important. Besides, you'll start dropping pounds in the next couple of days and that will cheer you up!

The first three days are the worst!!! Drink more water/add Crystal Light..Try the Crystal Light with Caffeine...that might help the headache and help with energy levels...Hang in there..

I also had really bad headaches I think it might have been from cutting out sugar, it got better..

Your body is detoxing from carbs and sugar, the 3rd day was the worse for me. Keep drinking water...good luck to you.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
