Headaches

I just started the 2 week all liquid diet-yesterday. My surgery date is December 28th. I am having real bad headaches and my BP is going up...is this normal?

Yes, it can be. The headaches could be a result of the change of diet, particularly if you ate a lot of sugar and have cut it out.  The rise in BP could be a result of the pain -- when we hurt, our BP tends to go up.  This should even out after a couple of days, once the sugar gets out of your system.  If you're not better by Monday, or if the headaches become excruciating, call your doc.  It's not likely, but you could be having an allergic reaction to something in the liquid diet formula.  Most everyone I know had headaches when we started the liquid diet, too, but after the third day, they went away.  Good luck!

I had headaches when I started the liquid diet.  I think alot of it was that was also when I cut out most of my caffeine and alot of my other unhealthy habits, and my body had to adjust.  But, I agree, if it doesnt get better, call the doc. Good luck, not long till you are a loser too!!! Rhonda D.
