Day 3 was horrible

Okay I have detoxed before from sugar and carbs but this liquid diet is some serious you know what!!!!!

Day 3 was horrible....migraine headache, vomiting, couldn't keep anything down. Did not leave my bed except for bathroom and that was a performance in itself.

Day 4...headache still hanging on lighter though. So far breakfast and lunch have stayed down.

I was not expecting it to be this bad. From all other accounts. ..you OH folks tell me it will get better....im looking forward to feeling human again anytime now.

Hi Bojangles,

It looks like this message has been reposted so I hope I can respond now. I sent you a private message to let you know your original message wouldn't accept responses; it kept giving an error message. I alerted the mods, so hopefully it's fixed now.

I'm sure others have tried to respond to, but where unable to.

Are you still vomiting? Because that shouldn't be a part of it. When we say the first few days are rough, we usually mean headaches, fatigue and lethargy, sometimes the opti trots or constipation, but not vomiting.

If you keep vomiting, please let your surgeon know as that is pretty serious, especially if you can't keep anything down.

I hope things will get better for you soon. Take care.

This will be one of the hardest things you ever do, but you can do it! Take it one meal at a time, one day at a time and look you are already on day 3

Hey!

I hope everything is going ok now! Maybe try mixing your optifast with coffee or I hear mixing pumpkin spice with the vanilla helps.

I personally found added 350 of water helps, instead of the 300ml.

Hope your feeling better. Keep thinking of the long run it will help. I'm currently on my last day of optifast and trust me when I say this, I have no idea where the time went.

I hope you're doing better by now, if not, like Kathy said, let your centre know... vomiting is a big deal.

I also reported your post. One thing I noticed is they removed the emoticon from your subject line when they reposted it. I think it's possible that was generating the error message. Best to stay away from those, at least in the subject line! And if you use any, in the body of the message, be sure to use the ones built in to OH, not from your phone or computer. :)

Poor thing!!! first few days are the hardest, but trust your "gut" if it doesn't feel right - it probably isn't. I am sending healing thoughts and prayers for sure. xoxo

Thank you all. I am feeling better. The headache is hanging on for dear life but that I can handle.

I'm switching between Opti, Premier and Protein2o. Some broths and sugar free jello.

I have had 2300 cals in 4 days. I could eat that in a meal last week!!!

Big welcomed changes. Thanks again for your support.

Glad you're feeling better.

Your centre allows Premier and Protein2o?

Yes, I am going private VSG. So it is ... no sugar, no caffine, no carbs, and get minimum 60 grams of protein. All liquids.

I am sorry to hear that you are feeling great.

Headache yes, vomiting no!

Although, a migraine headache would bring on vomiting.

Increase your water intake between shakes to ensure that you remain hydrated.

I promise you.... You will be months out after surgery and the Opti will be a distance memory!

You can do this... I promise you it will be worth it!

Good luck and feel better!
