First day on liquid diet. Got a headache. Anyone else?

Not a headache but I was starving. I think it is harder pre op when you have a big tummy then after.

I'm sure your right. Another day or so and I'll get used to it.

Thanks

I started my pre-op diet 11 days ago. I had a terrible headache for THREE days. My surgeon said I was detoxing from carbs/sugar/caffeine. Ugh it was awful and I was miserable. I have surgery on Monday and I feel MUCH better. Headache gone, but still get bouts of head hunger. I just had a cup of broth (half Mexican tortilla and half chicken) ...it was WONDERFUL!! Quenched my hunger................for now!

Good luck.

Thanks

I'm having some difficulty sipping my shakes not as much with the water. Is there anything I can do to help me sip my protein shakes? I'm on my 2nd day of the diet.

Day 2 of pre op diet I'm starving and a BAD headache! Please let this go by fast. I'm so ready. I'm just doing my best to stay busy. Walking ALOT!

I'm closing in on this part and am not looking forward to it. Is 2 weeks liquid diet something EVERYONE does before surgery or does it vary by surgeon?

My two week diet is proteins shakes I can eat veggies, scrambled eggs, pork loin. It has to be a lot of protein.

After surgery I start the liquid diet.

Daron it does depend on the surgeon. My Dr gave me a goal to reach that I must keep off or he will cancel surgery prep is the same as the colonoscopy.

My daughter made me the BEST protein SHAKE....

1/2 cup of 1% MILK...

1/2 ICE CUBE tray

2 scoops of protein powder (I have EAS chocolate)

Put ic cubes and milk in blender, blend completely, then add powder - just to mix (a couple of pulses).

As I am on my 12th day ...I was getting SICK of the protein "shakes".

This way in with the blender make it frosty...and MUCH better.
