Day 4 preop diet / not so badd

[distant0098 1]

Okay today is day 4 of my pre op diet. I really dont feel like Im starving, like I thought I would. Its actually getting easier day by day. I have having lots of headaches. Dont know if its from hunger or simply from the carbs and caffeines I have cut out. Any ideas as to what helps with the headaches besides asprin or medication, because without food in my stomach, any medications make me sick....

I am on day 6 and I agree it is not as bad as I thought it would be. I have lost 13.6lbs so far and had a bad headache the first 2 days. I attributed it to sugar and caffeine withdrawals. Have not had one since then. Hope that helps

I am on day 5 of Opti fast - banding to be the 23 and I have had headaches every day - I am struggling because everything is so sweet - bars and drink - even if I mix something with my Water it is sweet - but I am making it - - - really am moody and weepy -anyone else have that.

Glad to find you

Dear DISTANT0098

Go to the store and get some PEDIALYTE, you are down in electrolytes!!

THe exact same thing happened to me and I thought I was losing it as I NEVER get headaches....

WIthin an hour or two I was feeling better and energetic too... its amazing what some potassium and salts will do for you!

I also used an ICE BAG on my head and tylenol

Best of luck

I am on day 17 of my Optifast, and I get banded in 4 days! Keep up the great work...this wretched way of eating (drinking? ;P) is all a means to an end.
