How long do these headaches last?

[x57114 36]

I had a pretty wicked headache day 1 and day 4....day 5 (today) was probably the most difficult though because I was back in my normal office for work and had all the usual eating triggers....I am doing pretty well on this, I thought I could have cottage cheese and creamed Soups at first (while I was traveling) and when I got home I realized those weren't on the list...oops.... few more days to get it right though.

I had the headache for two days, and was dizzy slash slightly nauseated for 4 days - I am on day 6 and finally I felt pretty normal. My pre-op diet consists of 3 or 4 shakes of 160 calories or less each plus one light meal or around 250-350 calories, not to exceed 870 calories daily. About the 3rd day I was pretty tired of chocolate shakes, so I finally branched out and tried an orange flavored Protein shake (Syntrax nectar Sweets Fuzzy Navel) with Water and it was pretty good! I also tried a Click Mocha drink and it was passable. My point? The Water based shakes are much lower in calories, so I wasn't hitting the 870 calories, I was averaging high 600's - mid 700's, so I was adding a greek yogurt or cottage cheese after dinner. I have lost 9 lbs in 6 days. This weekend is my last weekend as my surgery is on Wednesday - so I am doing a last chance house cleaning marathon and shopping for all my Clear liquids for the 1st week post op. I really hope this busy schedule will help me avoid the stress of constant food availability here at home, I really relied on being at work this week because I could lose myself in work and avoid temptation. So I am hoping that @@Jennifer0609 is right and the 2nd week is a lot easier!

I am on day 3 having killer headaches. I am finding it so hard to drink my shakes. I am supposed to have 4 shakes and a bar I have not been able to do the 4th shake. I have tried blending it with ice. I also put it in a shaker with ice still did not help much. I feel sick to my stomach. I am miserable. The only saving grace is Jello and the sodium free broth.

I have been drinking all my Water.

I know I am doing this for the big picture but with another 16 days to go of this I don't know how I am going to do it.

Any tips?

Sorry for complaining I just don't know what to do!!

Can you have G2? Low cal Gatorade- helped me when I felt bad during pre op diet. Now I'm on day 12, gets easier

You're detoxing. Totally normal and usually good by day 3 or 4. Take some excedrine if its messing with your day. sleep is good!
