Pre op diet headache and tired

[jfcajr 123]

Day three of my 2 week liquid diet and I'm exhausted with a bad headache. I really hope this passes. If it's this bad now what's it going to be like after surgery?

I had a bad headache for about the first 5 days of my pre-op diet. My headache was most likely do to caffeine withdrawals... if you have stopped your caffeine intake, you can expect the headaches, but they will pass after about the 5th day or so.

Just keep up the good work. You are working your way to a healthier you. It will never be easy, even after surgery, but it is definitely worth it.

I am 14 weeks post op and the only regret I have is that I didn't have this surgery sooner.

I'm now on day 3 of my pre-op diet. Yesterday, my headache and nausea were so bad that I had a hard time falling asleep. Today, I feel so much better with no more headache or nausea

I'm just started I'm hope tomorrow will be better thanks keep in touch

Thank you all for your support. I know there will be good and bad days but I'm trying to remain positive and remember all the reasons I'm having surgery. Glad to have a supportive group to help get through it. Good luck everyone

I've gone 24 days on mine and while the insane hunger has gone away (the hunger torture lasted a few days), I still occasionally get shaky, dizzy, etc. especially if I get up quickly.

I'm finally 10 days post-op. The hardest part of this whole journey (besides of course surgery pain the first few days) was definitely the 14-days liquid only diet. The first 3 days & the last 3 days were terrible. I was cranky, tired, unfocused, dizzy, jealous of others eating real food, etc. What helped me out during those days was my nurse said I can eat non-starchy vegetables during the 14-day pre-op liquid diet since vegetables have Water in them & it gives me Fiber so I won't be constipated. If it weren't for salads (with barely any dressing or fat free, low carb dressing) I probably wouldn't have made it. The Premier Protein shake is good too since it's thick & gave me that full feeling.

Hang in there, if I can do it anyone can. After surgery, I don't have cravings anymore. I miss food but I get so full with a sip of water now. I can't imagine eating. And I lost 20 lbs since the pre-op & post-op.

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to hear.

@jfcajr glad my honest response was helpful. It is not easy but I feel great even just losing these first 20 lbs, I look better. Can't wait to lose more. Think of the long term reward.
