Ouch.. headache..3 weeks in..6 days to go..
Hi all,
I started my self imposed liquid diet 3 weeks ago. I had creamed soups and such and kept drinking the decaff diet cokes and occasioanl caffiene ones. Ive gone from 226 to 214 but last Tues. was my offical one wee****il surgery. I can have tylenol and Im taking my vitatmins, drinking my shakes, but this is the first 2 day headache I've had. Ugh. Tell me it gets better. Im good mentally and hunger wise but this headache makes it hard to even sleep. Bleh.
I am not an expert but in my experience of my self imposed liquid diet my headaches were better the 3rd day. I believe in my case it was caffeine and carb withdrawal. You are already doing amazing. Keep up the good work you will do great.
Take care,
Denise

I still ate 800-1000 calories of real food a day, rather than doing full liquids ****il the last two days as per my NUTs instructions).
If you aren't getting enough calories, you might want to swap to liquids plus one proper meal a day. For dinner I was having 100 grams (4oz) of chicken or beef, and 2 cups of mixed veggies in a stirfry.
I lost 12kgs (22lbs) before surgery with this approach and didn't have any issues with headaches.
