luzR 17 Posted September 15, 2016 So my surgery is September 28th and today is the first day of my liquid diet. 3 shakes, 2 yogurts,SF Jello and Popsicles. I'm having a really bad day so far, I have the worst headache ever and I want to kill anybody that even looks at me.. Lol Can anybody else relate? Any tips or suggestions to make this better? I need encouragement badly!!! Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katie09/21/2016 137 Posted September 15, 2016 My headaches got better around day 3. I was allowed to take Tylenol and that helped. Are you allowed broth or strained Soup? That's really helping me get through it (I'm currently in week 2). Goodluck Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samara1974 116 Posted September 15, 2016 Try a couple pinches of salt, you may be getting the "low carb flu" hopefully your headache will pass in two days or so. Also drinks lots of Water.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pescador 1,374 Posted September 15, 2016 Good luck. sleeping is the best! You won't feel the headache. Try to keep your mind occupied, and do small things, like cleaning out kitchen drawers. I am glad otherwise you are dong well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muhol88 16 Posted September 16, 2016 @@luzR I'm right with you! I started the liquid diet today with surgery on the 29th. I have wanted to eat everything in sight, but u did good with 4 Protein Shakes, chicken broth and a ton of Water. Have felt a slight headache all day, have been told to just keep drinking fluids which should help!!! Good luck! You got this!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Autumn Fury 67 Posted September 16, 2016 My surgery is scheduled for September 26th, I'm 4 days in to the pre op diet. I suspect the headaches are from caffeine withdrawal or aspartame in all the sugar free products. We all need to hang in there together to get through it.
