Headaches with pre-surgeury diet?

Anyone else getting bad headaches with the pre- surgery?

I started my liquid diet on Monday and I've been had the worst headache all day.

Me too. my surgery is the 15th. Everybody tells me this is the hardest part. good luck with u!

I was getting the worse headaches.  I quit smoking, gave up coffee and felt hungry all the time.  I ask the surgeons office if i could have more food then listed on the 2 week pre surgery diet, and to my surprise she said i could have more fruits and veggies and 3.
more oz of meat!
That realy helped me.  the Headaches went away after 2 days

Hope that helps

I have a killer headache right now....i just started my liquid diet today!!!!  It is going off sugar.  I have had them before.  Nasty...and i don't want to take advil because i don't want to upset my stomach getting closer to surgery. good luck

I dont have to do a liquid diet pre-op, but I have to do a Low Carb, High Protien, and I had a really bad headace for the first 3 or 4 days. I think its because I stopped drinking coke. I was a really big coke drinker, and now none. It has gotten better, I havent had a headace for the last few days. I hope it clears up soon! && Good luck with everything!

I am so glad to hear that having a terrible headache is common with the pre surgery liquid diet. My head is pounding and it won't go away.  Doing better then I thought with the liquid diet but the headache is torture.  Got 7 more days to go and I hope the headache doesnt stay with me the whole time.  Good Luck everyone!

I had terrible migraines too as soon as I had to switch to the Clear Liquid Only diet, which for me was the night before surgery & nothing to eat the day of. My head throbbed through both of these, but once they gave me the sedative prior to surgery & hooked me up to an IV everything faded away & I don't remember a thing besides waking up with the pain transferred to my belly.

Day one for preop diet.  slight headache and tired.  Surgery on 10/19 and im on 4 optifasts a day and one protein bar...thats it!!  :(

Yes - I've had a headache and am dizzy a lot.  Glad to hear I'm not the only one!  My surgeon's office does a 1200 calorie diet and liquid the two days before surgery
