Day 4....rough

[clardoss 6]

So far my pre-op diet has been going well. I haven't had caffeine headaches and overall I feel ok. Today, however has just been rough. I feel terrible. I don't want to do anything, everything seems to be running thru me and now I have a headache.

I'm not sure if everything is starting to fully hit my body or what. Anyone else had problems similar to this pre-op?

Sounds like your body is in the normal process of adjusting to the diet. How long of a pre-op diet do you have?

[clardoss 6]

2 week pre-op diet

It gets easier, it is really tough in the begining.

I used the pre-op diet as time to help remind myself that hunger was in my head. Before you know it you'll be at your surgery date and onto the next phase.

You are likely withdrawing from sugar. It will get better, I promise!

Nancy, I was banded Thursday morning and was doing great until early afternoon today. Gassy. A little nausea. Was afraid I'd barf, and I know we don't want THAT to happen at this stage for fear of slippage. I have a stiff neck from not sleeping in my usual positions. Also, it's still hard to get a good, deep breath. But, all in all, I'd say things are okay. I'm taking everyone's advice and not push it. Hope you do too. I find that I feel better after one of my little nappies. Take care! Elizabeth

i was doing great with my preop liquid diet until about 2 hours ago. Suddenly I went running to the bathroom....yeah...I guess this is normal? Somebody should have warned us.

That was me on day 2! I'm on day 5 now and doing better. We are in the home stretch!
