Scheduled for May

[daymar 0]

I have been visiting the site for over six months but this is my first post.

I am scheduled to banded on May 8th. I am very excited but scared about starting the liquid diet because I am very prone to Migraines if I did not eat properly.

I will be on a liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery.

I was wondering if anyone out there has migraines if either the liquid diet prior to banding or the restricted diet afterwards intensified their migraines. If so - how did you deal with it?

I also had to do liquids 2 wks b4 surgery and it was hard, I was starving! I called my Dr. a few days into it cause I was getting really dizzy and feeling like I was going to fall down so I was told to add 2 low cal high Protein Snacks, like 100 cals or less. It helped, but I was still starving. For the 2 wks after surgery I couldnt even get the liquids down, and was not hungry at all so that was a breeze!

Hiya!

I get Migraines like whoa and I didn't have any during my liquid diet phase. When I did get little headaches I took some liquid Tylenol or had some black tea. Best of luck

Welcome. You'll be given shakes that will provide the essential nutrients you need. If you find you're getting too hungry, call your surgeon's office and ask to speak with a health care professional. They will usually give you an additional one or two foods to tide you over.
