to be honest it got better after day 3 for me but i failed myself today by eating 4 crackers and cheese pieces of a lunchable i was so dizzy and weak and everyone said it would be okay but i know if i can help one person make it through by saying trust me its not worth cheating then i will feel better stick to what your doing i made it 5 days without cheating and will make it the next 5 days before my surgery!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!! GOOD LUCK

I am on day on of my preop diet and feel horrible. Thanks for letting me know it isn't unusual. I cheated and had a spoon of Peanut Butter. I feel horrible for cheating my first day. Yuck

On day 6 of my pre op diet. I felt bad days 2-4. Are you allowed G2? Gatorade 2, low cal. It might perk you up. I feel good today. One more week. Keeping busy has helped me. Good luck

I had a horrible headache for a full week and more prior to surgery. I remember being prepped for surgery and all I wanted was the headache to go away. I was dehydrated so I assume that might gave been the problem. Good luck!

I felt better on day 3 or 4...the first day or two were pretty bad between the headaches and weakness/dizziness. I was glad when I started getting used to the low calories and felt normal again.

I'm currently on day 2. I've been very tired, but no head aches. I'm not hungry, but still want to eat. I guess I never really noticed how much I eat not out of hunger, but becasue I just like to eat. I will make it through though, I made a promise to myself to not cheat.

Wow, reading all this I feel so much better .... I am doing 2 weeks of high Protein, low carb, low fat and then 2 weeks of liquids. I think doing the 2 weeks of dieting before the liquid phase helps. I weened off coffee a few weeks ago so I have been 11 days without a headache - I was getting them all the time. Just stay HYDRATED! Get the Protein in. Good luck all, its a journey for sure!

Just an update, day 3 the headache was gone and the slugglish feeling wasn't as powerful. I am on day 5 and feel pretty good especially after losing 12lbs in just 4 days!!! I guess it was all worth it.

Hello, I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. I am having surgery on 06/11. Yesterday and today have not been bad however last night was not good. I decided to have beef broth instead of chicken broth and it grossed me out, it made me sick.

OK, now I'm starting to feel the liquid diet. I started feeling sick to my stomach last night and still feel the same way this morning. Two weeks of this is going to be rough if I'm going to feel sick the whole time.

It gets better, it really does.

Thanks Buterfly.

I wonder if taking Pepto would mess up my liquid diet. I hope not, becasue i just had to take some to keep from throwing up all over my keyboard (and I'm at work so that would be a really bad thing).

My headache didn't go away until day 6. But I'm down 13 lbs so I'll live with the headache

I'm almost done with my 2 week pre op diet. 3 more days! Surgery is Monday. The second week is much easier than the first. Hang in there. I've lost 10 lbs so far, that makes it easier
