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 :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
