I started out at 224 pounds and am down to 196 as of today.  I am 5'3".

I am on day 6 of my liquid diet.  I am having terrible headaches at times.  Is anyone or has anyone experienced this?  Also what are you eating/drinking on your pre-op diet?

What are you drinking?  I didn't have much of a liquid diet requirement pre or post op, but I used the recommended protein meal replacements and soups for the most part.

Did you just cut off a pop/high sugar habit, or a caffeine habit?  Both of those can send you in withdrawls that can show up as headaches.

Samantha I am drinking chicken/beef broth, sugar free jello/pudding, crystal lite, protein shakes.  I didnt drink much sodas, so the only other thing it could be is from sweets, but I had cut my sweets back alot before the liquid diet.

Thanks for answering me.

No problem.  If it's really affecting you, you may want to call your dietician to see what they have to say.
