I am on my 2 week diet and I'm a lucky one I got to be.on the adkins diet but its still hard I don't really know what all I can eat so I'm not eating much haven't.had ANY sugar in 3 days Im on my 4th day now

I was on liquid for 2 weeks preop and had a headache from hell the first 4 days. Dr said it was caffeine and sugar withdrawals which is kind of an eye opener to think your body is addicted to caffeine and sugar ...but it was. By the 5th day it subsided. I hope yours does too.

Good luck on your journey, u can look it up on your comp or even go to the library & check if they have the book. I tried that diet b4 & that's where i found it.... Good luck :-)

i was on Protein shakes 2 weeks before my surgery, i had a headache for about 3 -4 days. it's your body missing that yummy addicting sugar and caffeine. it should subside in a couple of days, keep hydrated. if i'm not mistaken adkins is about protein, so have some slices of turkey, ham, or peanuts on hand. there's plenty of books that can help you out on the do's & don't of the adkins.

Good luck

I'm on day 4 of my pre op liquid diet. I feel really tired. Did anyone else experience this?

Yes very very tired I'm am laying down as I type just don't have the energy to do anything

It is great to know that others are going through this. I quit drinking any soda over a year ago but i love my sugar. I didn't call my dr about it but it is nice to know why I have had the headaches.

Me too I did have one that I really liked it was pure protein 100% whey protein but ran out and went back to Walmart to get some more and of course they didn't have it so grabbed some other that looked similar and I Hate It! My husband is doing the liquid diet with me and he isn't usually picky about his Protein drinks and he hates it too! So I need to find something else I like.

Awww that's so sweet your.husband is doing it with you that's awsome , I got ensure and I'm having a hard time.drinking them down

Try Special K Protein shakes, that's what I had the week of liquids after being banded, I couldn't even smell the powder shakes..I was sick of them. I bought the french vanilla which i liked. Of course I asked the Dr if that was ok and he said it was So now I have them around when i don't feel like having Breakfast or lunch, I have one of the shakes and mix in either berries or bananananana

Good luck!

Keep us posted!
