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.

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.

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.< /p>

After surgery I start the liquid diet.< /p>

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
