I am on day 3 of the pre-op diet and I am very shaky and have been getting awful headaches. Has this happened to others? Is it normal? Thanks in advance!

It's normal.

Yeah, Sweetie, it is pretty normal. It's like a detox without the cucumber-lemon-red pepper cleanse. There is also a reaction called the carb flu, where your body wants all the carbs it is not getting so you get the heebie-jeebies instead. The pre-op fluids are not pleasant, but you are preparing your body for a life-changing experience. If you are still concerned after reading some responses, do not hesitate to call your bariatic team.

HI I am 3 days on my liquid diet as well and have had a headache for 3 days i was told to take tylenol and its normal your body is detoxing from all of the food that was stored in it.

Thank you all. I've been feeling much better but boy is the diet food gross now!
