So, my doctor, Dr Snow in Hurst, Tx, put me on a 5 day diet before my surgery on Friday. Today is day 3 and I have the WORST headache! I can't get rid of it. . . I even tried a Starbucks singles packet (with a scoop of vanilla Unjury Protein Powder, of course) this morning! My pre-op instructions say to avoid aspirin or anything that will thin my blood this week! Any suggestions? I'm dying here. . .all I want to do is close my curtains and lay in my bed ALL DAY; but I have things to get in order (family meals, last minute house work, etc.) before the big day!

its completely normal. I had a headache from hell until day 4 of my 2 week preop diet. Call your Dr and see what you can take. I was allowed tylenol.

I ended up having to take benedryl. It is more for sinus headaches but also seems to work for the caffeine crash/sugar crash headaches. Once your body is detoxed the headaches will subside :) and you will feel great!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
