Surgery July 20th preop diet headaches

[Lovelyorchid 16]

So I called to set up my preop testing for my July 20th RNY! I'm so excited and can't wait for my new life to start. I started my preop diet today, and I have a really bad headache! Maybe it's my stomach and my fat yelling to feed it? Has anyone experienced this on their preop diet? Thanks for your help!????????????????

I just started my 2 week liquid diet today. I was warned about headaches. So far, I found that having a Protein Shake helped with it immensely.

Maybe I'll drink half of one I already had my shakes and lean meal for the day. Thanks! I didn't think this would happen.

Can't wait until I am at that point. It is miles away. Didn't even meet with surgeon yet.

You will get there! Keep with it!

Well I tried a shake, green tea for some caffeine and nothing! I still have a headache! Uhhh I'm sure it's my stomach and fat crying for food! I hope this will subside by morning. Uhhhh.

I had bad headaches for the first 3days, then it stopped. I believe i was coming off the caffeine addiction!

I had a bad headache lastnight it was my first day on the luquid I caved and drank some milk and it went away ..I weighed myself out of curiosity and have lost 5 lbs since yesterday ..

[StefanieSparklePants 95]

Yeah, the headaches get better.

I'm on day 11 of the diet and i'm down about 7 pounds.

I haven't done the preop diet, but I did do Joe's juice diet from Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead and the first few days were very painful. Headaches, body aches, feel like you have the flu and that's from your body detoxing. If you can fight through it, in a couple of days you should feel pretty good. If you can't, you can slow it down by taking a piece of bread, crackers, or eating something with some sugar although it being your preop diet, you really shouldn't be taking in sugar or carbs since it's to help shrink your liver. More Water will help to flush it faster too.

So my headaches come and go. i ended up eating some turkey meat and more and it helped. I just hope this is not a constant thing weeks after the surgery. But I think it's all the detoxing from all the bad stuff I use to eat.

Be careful its supposed to be liquids only .When I had my headache I drank a small cup of milk and that helped
