Headache From Pre Op Diet

Started back on liver shrinking diet yesterday, thought i would be ok but wasn't, because i have had some wws puddings etc i found i was really hungry yesterday and have a headache due to lack of sugar and carbs.

I had my flu jab yesterday and don't usually have a reaction but feel really yuk today.

Rang up dri yesterday to see if my blood test results were back, and was told by one person they will be back on the 29th but the pre op assessment nurse said it could be weeks.

all the bariatric team are off until 1st nov, but the preop nurse said she will contact me if the results are back before then.

So here i am again shrinking the liver in the hope that i can be fitted in if there is a cancellation if my tests are back and i only need a vit K injection, but if i find i have to wait longer can go off the preop diet, but then the pain will begin again, when i start again.

I read today that God doesn't break a bruised reed, am feeling very bruised, but God knows best.

Mom was supposed to come home today but was told today it will be early next week now, she is going to be so upset, i am too, all this waiting and dissapointment is really testing, don't understand why, but such is life.

I am even more determined to get my operation, if i ever had any doubts, i don't now, i am ready for my sleeve NOWWWWWWWWWWWWW, lol, God give me strength.

Found a great web page yesterday, bariatriccookery.com if any one wants to take a look, it has some great post op recipies.

Keep up the good work friends, it will all be worth it when we get to our healthier small selves, meanwhile i will keep on learning from all of the great people on this forum, xxx

i was told once from my dr, while dieting and having headaches, it was from lack of salt, not from the lack of sugar. try some salt, it did work from me
