I'm on day 3 of pre op Protein shakes I'm just getting over a cold and I'm so tired. I have had a headache for 2 1/2 days I'm feeling low and tired and I can't help but think I hope it's better after surgery. If its not I can't live this way. I can't stand the constant headache. Am I the only one that has a constant headache does it go away?????

Wow how was day one like

It took me until day 4 until the headache went away. It gets better but the preop liquid diet is the worst... Depending on your Dr you will need to be prepared for 2-3 weeks of liquid on the other side as well. But when its all over....you will have lost weight, learned that food is just fuel and I bet you will applaud yourself for achieving this goal.

Best of luck.

Your body is detoxing. It does get better.

my headache and crabby feeling went away on day 5..

as others said, it does get better.....that just your body

getting all the (junk out).

hang in there.

you can do this..if you want this...

you cant give up! youve been such an inspiration to me! you better not, girl! its the worst part!

I had a headache the first couple of days too. It does get better.

Hi im on day five of pre op milk diet and feel so tired hungry and now beside myself with worry as i did the unthinkable and ate a slither of chicken!!!!!! Feel such a failure:( by the way im deana from selsey england being banded on 5th

When you detox from sugar you get a headache. Remember this when someone tells you you took the easy way out......How bad do you want this.. thats the question. Not sure but I think I took an excedrin . It gets better... that that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Time to suck it up.. you will feel so much better when you win this battle.

detoxing doesn't last long but a hot shower then an ice pack and a nap helps me ( I have migrains often) Hang in there it will get better I promise. it is so worth it...if you drank a lot of coffee and aren't now it could also be that have a cup or two. line dancer

Kc1 not to worry you body is going through detox. Getting rid of all the toxics in your body. I had a headache for three days, it does go away.

Also hang in there you can do this, we have all gone through it. Get your friends and family on board to help support you. We are here for you as well. I would freeze crystal light and water in ice cubes. When I wanted to eat something I would eat them. It does help a lot. Do things that take your mind off eating. Stay strong your not alone.

Thanks everyone I really appreciate the encouragement. I went home from work had some stuff for headaches I feel better. Thanks I will stop complaining.

We are all here to share and support one another. If we don't listen to each other, who else is going to listen to us?

I too had the headache for several days. Mine was "sugar withdrawal" headache. Perhaps you too?

My doc says I don't have to do a pre-op diet. But I am a total sugar junkie and want off the stuff. Do y'all recommend just going cold turkey and getting off it? Or does anyone recommend a more gradual approach? Any thoughts or advice are welcome.
