Topic: RE: preop full liquid diet

your NUT is probably right... I had to do a two week liquid optifast diet before my surgery... first week.. had incredible headaches... increased liquid.. and they eased.   oh... and try and get more rest....  (if you can)....

flavour your water... make your liquids more enticing ...if possible...
Its like our bodies are doing a detox of carbs and "stuff" 

By day 5.. they had pretty much dissapeared....

it will be hard...  I am not going to sugar coat it..(pardon the pun)..tee hee..

You can do it...  and there are tons of people on these boards that are 100 percent behind you...cheering you to the finish line...  (trying not to sound corny...)

Topic: preop full liquid diet
I am on day 2 on my full liquid diet.  I'm doing good, but I have a terrible headache.  I emailed my NUT and she said it's probably from not getting in enough fluids, so I've tried really hard today.  Anyone have any tips ?

Topic: RE: Nerves Nerves Nerves
I'm not really nervous about the surgery, but am about the anesthesia.  I've been put to sleep once but it was for an emergency C-Section and I had awareness under anesthesia.  So nervous that this will happen again.  I work as a RN in the OR and have seen to much, sometimes ignorance is bliss :)  My surgery is 11/7 so just a day before yours.  Good luck :)

Topic: Day 7.. post op.... wahoooo..
Hello all...

Thank you for all the well wishes for surgery....

So far so good,  learning on how to get all my liquids in and trying to make sure I meet my protein requirements... 

Working on getting all my water.. vits, and walks into my schedule...

PROTEIN Shakes are a must...  while you are on liquid portion of your recovery.... without them... I was exhausted... 

Have a great day everyone....

Topic: RE: Please post stats
Hi guys, I've been a lurker and haven't posted yet.  My name is Mandy and I am 31 years old.  I have been married for 12 years and have two sweet little boys, 8 and 3 y/o.  I have been overweight most of my life.  I am excited to have single incision lap RNY on 11/7/11.  I started my pre-surgery full liquid diet yesterday.  It's going okay, except for the headache I've head since yesterday.  I can't wait to learn more about you guys and get support for this wonderful journery.
