Dizziness, headaches in pre-op



Recommended Posts

I'm three days from surgery and really having a hard time on pre-op. I had almost no problems during my first week of the diet (full liquids). Week 2 (clear liquids) has been awful. Today leaving church I felt like I was going to throw up from hunger? Was having gagging sensations. Last night I had a pounding headache from hunger. shakes and broth just aren't going it for me. I broke down and had chicken Soup from Newks today at lunch. Just trying to make to surgery on 6/28.

Anybody else cheat a little with full liquids during clear liquid phase of pre-op? I've read that some of you get to have whole meals during pre-op (chicken and veggies, etc.). Surely I'm ok having a bowl of soup once a day to keep me from passing out/getting sick!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
