It sucks, I did drink a lot of caffeine and cut it all out day 1 of the liquid diet. Your body is probably craving carbs and sugar. Not much to do, gotta just push through the pain. Keep telling yourself just a few more days.

Yeah, it's sugar withdrawal. It sucks. Day 4 should be better.

Yes, it went away day 3 and my cravings for breads and potatoes were gone. To me it felt like a carb detox. I'm day 8 and I don't have any problem with headaches now.

I'm 3 days in to the pre-op diet and my headaches are fading. I'm starting to feel less crabby and more energetic now, but the first couple days were pretty tough. Fortunately, I can still take Advil for another week!

Started my two week Proteins liquid only diet two days ago, and my head has not stopped hurting!! I don't drink caffeine so that's not the problem, anybody else have this issue? And why to do

I am three days in today of the Protein liquid diet. I am extremely exhausted and headaches. I have absolutely no energy. I was told i should feel better by the fifth day. I feel horrible!! The past two nights I've been up reading because i couldn't sleep. I don't know why that is.

I had the same thing. I think it's probably related to carb/sugar withdrawals. You'll get through it, it will pass :)

Not if their doctor told them not to.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
