E G 36 Posted July 27, 2018 Hey all! I started my liquid diet on Monday and I’m down 9 pounds!! However, ever since “eating healthy” I feel like my body has gone into like a shock which I’m sure is normal. I get headaches every day (even wake up with them) and am not sleeping as long as I used to. I know this could be from lack of caffeine and change of diet. I am trying to avoid taking ibuprofen (motrin) as my surgery is next week (8/6). Any suggestions for headaches? 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But confirm with your surgeon/surgical team first. Drastic changes all at once will cause the issues you are describing, and yes, if you just stopped the caffeine recently, you could be going through withdrawals. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KCgirl061 1,533 Posted July 27, 2018 Depends what all youre consuming but you might be going into sugar detox? In which case, you can add a little sugar back into your diet or just power through. Ibuprofen isn't approved by all surgeons and my surgeon doesn't want me taking it now (I'm 10 days until surgery) so check first before taking it. 2 Frustr8 and E G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because when I went for an endoscopy they asked me about ibuprofen Intake. 10 days to surgery?!? Me too!!! What is your date? I am August 6. We should definitely chat. Are you nervous/excited? I am both! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 27, 2018 And I will follow you 2 just 30 days later, I will confess something to you both. Now I am a Brave Little Engine, indeed the Little Engine That Could, but although I will have a Happy Smile on my face because I truly want my surgery more than most anything I have ever wanted just before they push me through those big Double Doors, yes I have made a tour, I know! I will say inside OMG -WHAT AM I DOING? Things will never be the same! And as those doors pop open and I go into there I will. say THAT' S OKAY-i will be better- I am destined to be here, Hello Dr Needleman I 'M READY NOW!
