i got my date AUG 29th...yay

im on my pre op diet now well on the third day!! the only thing is i think from lacking carbs/sugar...im getting headaches and feeling weak?? is this normal??:faint::help:

I feel your elation!

Make sure you are getting lots of protein and fluids. And yes, I think you can get headaches when drastically cutting calories. But check into whether you used to have a lot of sodas or coffee. Giving up caffeine can hurt, too. Good luck and I am so happy for you.... you are on your way to a new life!! Keep posting!!

Hi, When Did You Start Your Lap-band Journey?

Definitely normal! They will go away in a few days but you will feel so much better once all that sugar is out of your system!

woo u must be bursting with excitement I know I was! the liver shrinking diet is tough but very important so stick with it. I also got headaches but it is normal. good luck xx Karin xx

I was so glad to hear you say that, I am almost obsessed with thinking about this all the time. It is great and I am so excited. If you are giving up sodas, coffee & tea, the lack of caffine will give you a headache. I lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks, just doing the liguid diet twice a week. I am so excited, I do not have a date yet, but will have tomorrow for the end of the this month. Keep us posted
