Day 2 of my all liquid only preop diet, surgery on June 1st. Day 1 wasn't too bad but I did get nausea from shakes, I just got grossed out. I can only drink shakes, 1 cup of broath, and Jello. So enjoy each bit of your Protein for those of you who get 1 meal per day. Today was a little harder, like when I was making dinner. I'm staying strong but craved food. I also got a light headache earlier but no biggy. My only concern is I'm going with my daughter and her class to an amusement park tomorrow, so I hope it goes well tomorrow. Crossing my fingers!

I have also been having headaches. It will all be worth it in the end!

I have Migraines anyway so I was worried about the headaches too. But it has been ok.

I am on Day 5 of my all liquid diet. 2 more days to go of Protein shakes. On Monday I have to do all Clear Liquids with nothing to drink after 11 pm. Surgery is at 11:00 am on Tuesday.

For me, Day 3 was the worst. I had a horrible headache and was exhausted. It has gotten better since then.

Just stick with it. It will all work out in the end for us.

I'm on the pre-op, but don't start only liquid for another 2 weeks- surgery is in June. I'm definitely nervous and hoping I'm doing the right thing.

I start my preop diet on Monday... R preop shakes per day for 14 days. That's it. Feeling some doubt right now but constantly reading these forums so I can keep my eyes on the end game.

As I contemplate WLS, one of my fears has to do with headaches. I have chronic Migraines and am afraid the super low calories will trigger more migraines and cause more headaches.

Hey! If I'm on day 5 of 14 and still going strong, so can you! I'm the girl who loves wine every night and sitting down with papa johns. If I've got this... YOU'VE got this!

So interestingly enough, I've had migraines since I was 6 years old and this didn't even cross my mind before starting the preop diet (or even when considering wls). This may be TMI, but my migraines are triggered by a number of things but I can at least count on one every month with hormonal changes lol. If I were to get a Migraine this month it would/should have coincided with day 3 of my preop diet. Shockingly I didn't even realize I didn't have one because I've been so focused on doing well on the diet. When you posted this I realized that this is the ABSOLUTE FIRST month I have NOT had a hormonal migraine. Now, my average cal consumption on the diet has been 700-900 (I promise you thats the lowest amount I have ever willingly consumed lol), and I have yet to have a migraine. I hope this gives you some comfort! And I've said it before and I'll say it again... if you're eating >100mg Protein, physically you will most likely NOT feel hungry, mentally you will. You can do it!

My surgery is June 17th. I have been doing test runs lol so to speak. I have dropped a lot out of my diet for the last month. bread Pasta rice has been gone for about 2 weeks. Focusing in salads Proteins and shakes. I have no means perfect but I am doing it in babysteps ..no food funerals for me lol that would just be a disaster. I only have to be on preop for a week it looks like. Good luck everyone :) here cheering u on

have you tried the cherry flavor? I purchased the sample pack and so far they have been really good, but I wanted to try the cherry and my pack didn't come with it. I love all things cherry flavored basically, but I had never heard of cherry Protein until I looked at syntax brand. Anyway, I agree syntax flavors are really good and a really nice change when you are sick of the usual chocolate, vanilla or strawberry!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
