Did anyone else get physical withdrawals when starting their pre-op diet? I just stopped eating all grains and fruits (carbs) on friday... and today, my head is killing me!!! Anyone else have this happen to them?

I had to do 2 weeks of protein shakes, and yes, the first 3 days were horrible. I felt like I had the flu. Headaches, body aches, tired. BUT, by day 4 I felt a whole lot better and made it through the rest of the pre-op with no problems. Just be sure to drink lots of water. It will help.

Hang in there, it will get better!

I stopped drinking coca cola about 3 weeks before I had the surgery. This resulted in a massive headache. I couldn't even get out of bed and stand up without my head pounding. It took about 2 days to go away. All just because my body couldn't have caffeine anymore : /
