MarceMonster 161 Posted May 21, 2015 Day 2 of my all liquid only preop diet, surgery on June 1st. Day 1 wasn't too bad but I did get nausea from shakes, I just got grossed out. I can only drink shakes, 1 cup of broath, and Jello. So enjoy each bit of your Protein for those of you who get 1 meal per day. Today was a little harder, like when I was making dinner. I'm staying strong but craved food. I also got a light headache earlier but no biggy. My only concern is I'm going with my daughter and her class to an amusement park tomorrow, so I hope it goes well tomorrow. Crossing my fingers! I have also been having headaches. It will all be worth it in the end! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mackey2011 8 Posted May 22, 2015 I have Migraines anyway so I was worried about the headaches too. But it has been ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmilingBeauty 223 Posted May 22, 2015 I am on Day 5 of my all liquid diet. 2 more days to go of Protein shakes. On Monday I have to do all Clear Liquids with nothing to drink after 11 pm. Surgery is at 11:00 am on Tuesday. For me, Day 3 was the worst. I had a horrible headache and was exhausted. It has gotten better since then. Just stick with it. It will all work out in the end for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allyray 108 Posted May 23, 2015 I'm on the pre-op, but don't start only liquid for another 2 weeks- surgery is in June. I'm definitely nervous and hoping I'm doing the right thing. I start my preop diet on Monday... R preop shakes per day for 14 days. That's it. Feeling some doubt right now but constantly reading these forums so I can keep my eyes on the end game.

choosehope 233 Posted May 23, 2015 As I contemplate WLS, one of my fears has to do with headaches. I have chronic Migraines and am afraid the super low calories will trigger more migraines and cause more headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm on day 5 of 14 and still going strong, so can you! I'm the girl who loves wine every night and sitting down with papa johns. If I've got this... YOU'VE got this!

megan143 6 Posted May 23, 2015 As I contemplate WLS, one of my fears has to do with headaches. I have chronic Migraines and am afraid the super low calories will trigger more migraines and cause more headaches. So interestingly enough, I've had migraines since I was 6 years old and this didn't even cross my mind before starting the preop diet (or even when considering wls). This may be TMI, but my migraines are triggered by a number of things but I can at least count on one every month with hormonal changes lol. If I were to get a Migraine this month it would/should have coincided with day 3 of my preop diet. Shockingly I didn't even realize I didn't have one because I've been so focused on doing well on the diet. When you posted this I realized that this is the ABSOLUTE FIRST month I have NOT had a hormonal migraine. Now, my average cal consumption on the diet has been 700-900 (I promise you thats the lowest amount I have ever willingly consumed lol), and I have yet to have a migraine. I hope this gives you some comfort! And I've said it before and I'll say it again... if you're eating >100mg Protein, physically you will most likely NOT feel hungry, mentally you will. You can do it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scr161990 10 Posted May 23, 2015 Can someone please post a sample of what their liquid diet looked like?? I started today and don't know what to drink! So lost... Surgery in 5 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All done 36 Posted May 23, 2015 My surgery is June 17th. I have been doing test runs lol so to speak. I have dropped a lot out of my diet for the last month. bread Pasta rice has been gone for about 2 weeks. Focusing in salads Proteins and shakes. I have no means perfect but I am doing it in babysteps ..no food funerals for me lol that would just be a disaster. I only have to be on preop for a week it looks like. Good luck everyone here cheering u on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarceMonster 161 Posted May 24, 2015 The syntax nectar Proteins have literally saved me pre and post op... I'm only suffering from head hunger have you tried the cherry flavor? I purchased the sample pack and so far they have been really good, but I wanted to try the cherry and my pack didn't come with it. I love all things cherry flavored basically, but I had never heard of cherry Protein until I looked at syntax brand. Anyway, I agree syntax flavors are really good and a really nice change when you are sick of the usual chocolate, vanilla or strawberry!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gummie24 9 Posted May 24, 2015 Haven't tried the cherry yet but I do have the trial size of it. So as soon as I try it I will let you know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
