Ok so im having surgery on Feb 5th and im currently into my liquid/low sugar/no carb required liver reduction diet. However since I started this diet, I've been nauseous and dizzy. Also suffering from severe migriane attacks. Now I understand I had huge caffeine dependencies as well as high sugar and carb meals. However im wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so what did you do to overcome the pain? I did call my nutritionist she advised me I could have very small amounts of whole wheat if it helps with my nausea. And it has. I actually have some hummus with whole wheat crackers and it seems to help in the short term. Any other ideas since I'm unable to take any OTC medication for my symptoms.

Water! drinks lots of it. My nut said when you go into ketosis, body is getting rid of all bad chemicals and its in your blood stream. Drink lots of Water to flush that out of your body. The headaches is a signal not of hunger (have Protein shakes) but of crap flowing in your blood. I promise headaches will subside when you drink a glass or two of Water when you have a headache. Happened to me, i suffer from Migraines and havent had one. ????

Pretty much like any addict coming off their favorite vice, whatever was driving us to over eat isn't letting go without putting up a fight. It didn't hit me until after surgery, but before, if I didn't eat in like 4 or 5 hours I started to get moody and I'd get headaches. No more. Good Luck!

I just purchased the fusion drink. But I know there is another company that has a protien broth which sounds good to me. less sweet.

Im on the fusion protien drinks 2x a day. I also get 2 Snacks which are either sugar free or non fat items. A max of half a cup. For dinner 2oz lean meat and 1cup veggies. And required to drink 64oz of Water a day.

You're eating solids on the pre op liver size reducer diet?! I'm on Bariatric Advantage Protein Shakes and No solids....kind of torture :/

      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?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
