So my surgery is September 28th and today is the first day of my liquid diet. 3 shakes, 2 yogurts,SF Jello and Popsicles. I'm having a really bad day so far, I have the worst headache ever and I want to kill anybody that even looks at me.. Lol Can anybody else relate? Any tips or suggestions to make this better? I need encouragement badly!!! Thanks in advance

My headaches got better around day 3. I was allowed to take Tylenol and that helped. Are you allowed broth or strained Soup? That's really helping me get through it (I'm currently in week 2).

Goodluck :)

Try a couple pinches of salt, you may be getting the "low carb flu" hopefully your headache will pass in two days or so. Also drinks lots of Water.< /p>

Good luck. sleeping is the best! You won't feel the headache. Try to keep your mind occupied, and do small things, like cleaning out kitchen drawers. I am glad otherwise you are dong well.

@@luzR I'm right with you! I started the liquid diet today with surgery on the 29th. I have wanted to eat everything in sight, but u did good with 4 Protein shakes, chicken broth and a ton of Water. Have felt a slight headache all day, have been told to just keep drinking fluids which should help!!! Good luck! You got this!!!

Thank you! Hopefully today is a better day, I'm going to include chicken broth today and see how it goes. Hopefully my body gets used to it soon..

good luck to you too, keep in touch

Good Luck my surgery is Sept 27 and the Dr said I have to loose 10 lbs I guess I should be on a liquid diet

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My Dr didn't say how much I have to loose, he has me doing it to shrink my liver. Glad day one is over let's see how I do today.

Good luck on your surgery.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
