i am set for surgery on april 25 i have a great support system but im worried about the liquid diet im throwing a surprise 50th for my husband and will have over 70 people here that im doing all the cooking for and im worried about the migraine did anyone have any ideas how to prevent a migraine

Every person is different with the preop diet. Some get the headache the first couple days. I, however, got it on the 3rd day and it only lasted one day. How many days will you be on the diet before your husband's party?

i will be on liquid for 12 days before party

Okay, good! Your body will be adjusted to the liquid within the first few days of preop. You should be fine. Good luck!!

thank u is liquid dirt gradual or do u just go to liquid right away

oops diet

i didn't need to do a liquid diet. My surgeon requires a low-fat Atkins diet for two weeks. Is your surgeon requiring the liquid diet? Count back two weeks from your surgery date and that's when your diet will start. If you are doing liquid, you will change to all liquids on that day.

the surgeon does require liquid diet i wouldnt be able to do adkins i did in past and i would past out it was scary i woke up in ER two times

Wow, I'm glad you are okay after that. Good luck on your liquid diet. I go in on Wednesday to get sleeved! I think I'm going to do an all liquid diet tomorrow.

good luck with your surgery today

day 5 of liquids and i jave not killed anyone

I never had the headaches or migraines but i know the doc said i could only have tylenol from the start of the pre-op diet, until the time of surgery or they would reschedule it because there could be complications so just be careful... and i know we will all make it! BLESS and good luck..

I often have headaches! And today I learned that if you put a drop FDA approved essential oil frankincense or peppermint oil on the roof of your mouth it will get rid of it

day 8 im still alive and very impressed with myself surgery preops are done now i just wait til wed

Excellent!! Glad you are doing well! Wednesday is right around the corner.

hows it going for u

Excellent!! Glad you are doing well! Wednesday is right around the corner.

I'm in on Thurs 26th and the time is dragging on... I get headaches & migraine all the time but haven't had one since going in pre-op:). They had become more frequent the heavier I got so hopefully from now on us headache sufferers will get more and more headache free days:)

How are you doing? You must be a couple of weeks post-op now!
