Surgery is June 28th, I'm so scared but so darn excited. I've been heavy for 24 years, I'm just exited to loose this damn weight and excited to eat healthy. One year ago on June 16th, I had a massive heart attack at 43 years old, my lad was 100 % blocked and my RCA was 99% blocked. I have 3 Stents all together. So the only reason I'm scared is my heart. I did have permanent heart damage to my left side. But I have turned my diet around as far as eating more lean meats and vegetables and fruits, I just sometimes cheat with the sweets, I'm excerising 5 days a week I lost 30 pound but it's been a year now and I haven't lost anymore so I decided to get help with surgery. I'm so excited to get started on this new journey.

@@Shaunie I'm the 5th as well. Thankfully, I gave up my coffee last month, so the migraine will only be on this pre-surgery diet. Managed to make it through today without one, but I feel it trying to creep in! 1 day down, 13 to go

It's the worst!!! I hope it gets better. My poor children are going to pay for this I didn't even think to cut it out prior. The cutting back on everything was plenty to handle lol. Good Luck! Where are you from?

@@Shaunie I am in Washington state...my surgeon is in Bellevue. How about you?

So did you just stop the caffeine and start the pre-op today?

@@Shaunie I start the liquid two week shake diet tomorrow. I'm so nervous. I use to get really bad migraines before my hysterectomy, now maybe one every few months. I'm scared this liquid diet will give them to me full force. I am a coffee and Diet Coke drinker. I hope you get better.

I started it yesterday. Yesterday was bad!! Today a little better, but I do have to confess I'm thinking about doing a 1/2 caff coffee just to get the headache to pass. Not sure what to do...

@@Shaunie and @@anniebanana I am new to this site. Hope I am working my way around it okay. I am in Arkansas. My surgery is set for 7/6. I should have stopped the coffee and DC much sooner next 14 days will be he**.

I would probably call your doctor or nurse to find out what you can have to curb the migraine. To be safe. Migraines are awful.

@@LACRACRA2 its differently not easy..I'm hearibg after the 3rd day it gets better. That's what I'm looking forward to!

Good Luck! ! Hang in there this will all be worth it :-D

If it doesn't ease up that is a good idea. Thanks :-)

Do you have any migraine meds you are allowed to take? I am prescribed some anyway from primary doc. I can take them up until 10 days before surgery. So that will get me through the first 4 days of liquids. Tomorrow is my pre op visit.

I still felt like crap on day four without caffeine. I did switch to decaf, but I'm not even bothering now. Without creamer it's just a lousy tasting non caffeinated beverage lol. My surgeon required that we stop the caffeine 30 days in advance. It's just crazy how all these surgeon's requirements are so different! I am fortunate that I have a bottle of hydrocodone because I had knee surgery a couple of months ago and didn't use all the pain meds, so there's always that to turn to if it gets bad. Just make sure you stay super hydrated...that will help at least a little bit.
