I am on day 3 of my liquid preop diet, and I feel awful! I am having splitting headaches and am nauseous. I am trying to get more protein in to see if that helps. It seems like I am so hungry and when I do eat some broth or a protein shake I get nauseous right after. To top it all off I am in the middle of a sinus infection (which may be causing some of these symptoms). Anyone else experience anything like this...if so, what helped?

Everyone's advice really helped. I am now on day 5 and have seen changes in the scale so that is totally motivating. Also, for some reason it is getting easier-and no more headaches! How is everyone else doing?

I started my pre-op diet by the end of October, around the 24th I think, I thought I was gonna have my surgery by mid November, but it was postponed. So I decided to keep on it, I still haven't had my surgery. I don't really get very hungry anymore, If I get a hunger pang I'll eat a slice of cucumber or low fat cheese and i am fine. If I am somewhere, where there is nothing I can eat the hunger goes away in 5 minutes or so.

@Paola-WOW that is amazing. Do you know when you will have your surgery?

I am hoping to have a date by next week

So, here is an off shoot question. my hubby wants to be supportive of me and eat as I do as much as he can during pre/post-op. he doesn't have much weight to lose, maybe 20-25 lbs at most. if he takes my bariatric vitamins and does a modified version of the full liquid diet, would it be harmful to him if he does that for, well, i guess it would be a total of 4 weeks if he does it as long as I do. I appreciate he wants to be supportive, but I don't want him to get sick. He rarely eats more than one meal a day anyway. Probably not the best way to do things, either.
