This is my first post on this site...And first of all let me just tell everyone "Thank You"!
A friend of mine was sleeved back in October and I saw him working a Christmas Parade this past season and he looked great. Over the Christmas Hoidays, I researched the fool out of WLS options and all of you on this site helped me make the decision that a Vertical Sleeve was the right choice for me. I'm 41 and my BMI is 48.5.
I'm very forunate to have great insurance. While on Holiday, I contacted my local WLS center and scheduled a consultation. My surgery date is Feb.14th (Talk about quick) The day was open and I thought it would be a great gift to my wife and kids.
Now, let's talk about the Pre-Op Diet. I started on it yesterday, a day early, and it went fine. My diet consists of 4 Protein shakes a day with 1 small meal...Since cream is not on my menu, I am also giving up coffee. Today, I've had the worst headache in the world. I'm pretty sure its from the caffeine withdrawal. I'm hoping that this only lasts a few days...I felt so bad, that I actually hurled my 1 small meal about 2 hours after I ate it....
Bottom Line, I'm not giving up on my Pre-Op Diet...But I am looking for some advice on how to handle Caffeine Withdrawal....
Just checking back in...Just to let you know my headache was not as bad today...I still had a small one, but hopefully the Caffeine withdrawal is about over. I actually woke up on Day 3 of my Pre-Op Diet with lots of energy...When I stepped on the scale this morning, I've lost about 7 1/2 pounds over the first 2 days....And I feel Great!
