I am just finishing day two of the liquids and my headaches are killing me. I am allowed h2o, broth, protein shakes and SF Popsicles or jello too. Oh and I can have chicken or a lean cuisine under 300 cal. once per day. I had chicken noodle soup tonight and ate a few of the noodles
What's the worst is the dang headaches!!! No excedrin allowed and Tylenol is not working as I hoped.
I did notice this morning that my tummy appears more "deflated" than usual so that's good! I am 235 so very close to you.
I am having RNY on June 30 and am currently doing the liquid diet/protein shakes for a week. My headaches are sooooo bad. I can only take Tylenol but it's not doing much. Any advice is appreciated!!
I too am so excited. In a weird way I get kind of sad too... Why isn't my body good enough? Why can't I just love myself with all my weight flaws? And then I think about all of the times I have cried over my weight, been embarrassed to go in public, been humiliated to clothes shop, and then I realize I'm doing this surgery BECAUSE I love myself and want my life to be full and wonderful.
Try to talk to your primary care/family doctor... If you have a history of weight related issues maybe insurance will at least consider that as nutrition counseling???
