Hi everyone. New to this and joined to get support and hopefully find people going through some of the same things. My VSG surgery is in two weeks and I’m on day 2 of the liquid diet. Felt pretty good most of the day yesterday but ended up getting a horrible headache by nighttime!! And it won’t go away

Here I am on day 2 wondering how I’m going to make it. I haven’t felt super hungry but it’s mostly the idea of not being able to eat solid foods and the lack of energy and headache. I am hoping it gets better. Anyone else experiencing this?

I am super excited and nervous about the surgery!!! I can’t believe it’s so close!!

Been there, done it. The two weeks you're in right now...was the hardest part of the process for me. Worse than the surgery or recovery. (I'm probably in the minority on that, I had a very easy time with surgery)

Hate to say this, but Day 3 was the worst for me. After that, I kinda gave up and soldiered on.

Take it a day at a time, you'll make it:)

I am also on day 2, and last night my headache was so bad it kept me up! I also had a very restless sleep and feel extremely lethargic. I am certain it’s just the sudden shock of this diet on our body. We will adjust and come right.

I’m only on day 2 and struggling big time - i keep freaking myself out thinking that if I’m already struggling now, how will I tolerate surgery? [emoji23]. I miss solid food already and have been fantasising about a burger since midday yesterday [emoji23].

I’m due to be sleeved jan 17; when are you getting sleeved?

All the best; this will pass!

That’s so comforting to hear; I hope this is the hardest part!

Thanks! I have a feeling it will be the hardest for me too but trying to power through it. You’re right, gotta take it on me day at a time.

Haha! Definitely daydreaming about food too! Makes it worse when I get on FB and Instagram and see all these meals and recipes! The good thing is that I am not as hungry as I thought I was going to be, which definitely confirms that part of the reason for my eating was about comfort and not hunger.
I’m hoping too that this lethargic feeling goes away bc I was really hoping to go to the gym so we’ll see. I don’t want to pass out lol.
My surgery date is on the 15th so just a couple of days before yours. All the best to you too! We will make it! [emoji1]

I went on a massive unfollowing spree on FB so I don’t see any yummy food [emoji23].

That’s good you’re able to see your eating patterns now. I realised just how much head hunger I actually have! Crazy isn’t it?

All the best for your surgery on the 15th! I’ll be right behind you then haha . We will get through this. Feel free to keep in touch if you need any support.

Thanks! Definitely will!

My nutritionist said that I would feel kind of crappy for a little while on the liquid phase pre-surgery. It’s “carb flu” as your body has been used to the carbs and sugars that we have been accustomed to
