Since being on the clear liquid diet I am experiencing headaches, fatigue and napping alot. Is this normal? My energy level is very low.Any suggestions?

Thanks:ohmy:

I had the same problem and when I went to my surgeon I was dehydrated so drink, drink drink!

I had the same problem and dehydration has a big part of all this however remember your body is craving some of the things you have now eliminated.. and change is good

Thank you I will concentrate more on the liquids

dosnyc--had the same experience. chicken broth will help--I am assuming there is SOME Protein in there. Also had lite apple juice and the little bit of sugar helped.

I called the doc on day 10 with the same problems--he put me on full liquids 3 days early. Tonight I had broccoli-cheese Soup (pureed) and OMG! I don't think I've ever tasted anything so good!

Hang in there--so worth it.

Thanks After going through this believe me I will stick it out. I spoke with my Nurse and she indictaed I wasn't getting enough protein. Which i acknowledge. So today is a new day and more protein.

Thanks for the support this site helps

Do you drink protein drinks? I know they help me alot.

Yes I have started but still waiting for the affects

You can eat anything that fits through a straw. I would move to a creamy soup. You have to make it with milk so it will give you some extra protein.

Thank you thats a good rule of thumb

Hello and hope all is well. I like the straw thought as well. Never thought of it like that. I had a fill 3 days ago and have been having way to many problems, seems everything is getting stuck. Sure hope you have gained energy and strength since your surgery, and you are feeling more like yourself by now

I am on day 4 after being banded- I had the problem of drinking too much at once and was gulping like I did before the band and then got nauseous. i am still gassy after having any liquid like pudding and the incisions are sore but I guess this is typical. I am happy I did it and already see and feel the results. no more swollen ankles and my feet dont hurt

Yes feeling much better thank you. I go for my firdt fill July 1 so a new experience to start. Stay Well

LOTS AND LOTS OF LIQUIDS. Slowly though.
