I need someone for support. I just started my 2 week liquid pre-op diet today. It started out ok, but it's getting rough. I have a headache. This could be mental of course. Is there anyone willing to help me through this?

I’m sure it must be difficult on your own if you need someone to cat with feel free to look me up on Facebook and message me. I’m just a year out but willing to be a listener! My name is Chancy Prowell

Why are you doing this? What do you want to accomplish? Who do you feel accountable to?
Think of those things when you're struggling. You can do anything you set your mind to.
I was terrified of the liquid diet stage. I started January 1st, and wasn't on soft foods until February 1st. It was easy before because I didn't have to think about what to prepare. I guess it was easier in general than I expected it to be. I had the headache too, you can get through this.

I am on day two of my preop and I am holding up okay. Some tricks I learned here from other posters is change your settings. Refocus. I am not sitting in the same room doing the same things. And remember your goal. Chin up and we can do this!

My first few days on the pre-op liquid diet was hard. I had headaches and was wicked tired for about 3 days after the first day. After the 4th day it got easier and the headaches and fatigue went away. If you continue to get headaches you might want to check with you doctor. Good luck and hang in there, we are all here for you.

Had that problem myself. Carb withdrawal. Be sure to get the allotted amount of carbs if your still having this problem. Add some carbs of some sort to your shakes. I was allowed to blend in some fruits with a Vitamix as long as I didn’t go over 15 grams per shake. Also drink lots of Water.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
