I thought I was going to be the lucky one who had no pre-op diet BUT I was wrong . U have to do a 2 day clear liquid diet (surgery is this Thursday) and I have already lost 2 pounds in like one day . I have a horrible headache and I am grouchy ! Is this normal ?

Don't feel so bad! My sister is currently doing a two week liquid diet (her surgery is the 25th) and she's DYING! Lots of headaches, etc. but is losing 1.5 lbs per day. Good luck!!

After today, it is done. Are you nervous? I have a question for u since you have Tricare...did you lose weight on your 3 month supervised weight loss program with your Pcp? I'm not losing anything just staying steady. He but me on a 1200 calorie diet and walking 30 minutes 3 times a week.

To be honest, I didn't have to do anything but come for a weigh in and get vital signs for my pcp. I wasn't put on a diet or anything. In three months, I lost 3 pounds total ! Thats all, I went to a nutritionist who basically talked to me about food after surgery. Still didn't have s diet. My pcp wouldn't do the supervised diet so she referred me to the nutritionist and included that in her notes . I had both appointments back to back (visit from pcp and nutritionist) so they could compare notes for 3 months. Honestly, tricare doesn't care about that lol they just want to know if you are committed before they give up some free money !

I had to do a 2 week low carb high Protein diet. My surgeons office required me to purchase the shakes and bars from them. You got 4 A day and 4-6 ouches of meat and veggies as your free meal. I had trouble sticking to it. I did get headaches but that may have bern from the caffeine withdrawals. I was very moody. It's almost over with. Thursday will be here before you know it. Good luck to you.

Thank you !
