Finally plucked up the courage to post something. Need help please.
Op on 25 Feb, terrified but kinda excited having waited for so long.
Lost 13 kilos as of a week ago.
On liver shrinkage diet, completed 1 week. I feel so sick, exhausted, headaches, constipated dispite all the fybogel. Spoke to dietician & she says this is normal & will pass. Uuuuurgh! When? My blood pressure is normal, drinking over 2 litres of water a day. I can hardly function.:cry:
Any tips?
 
Hello and welcome, sorry I'm not much use for advise with this as I'm a while away from my op yet, but good luck honey xxx

Welcome xxx
Im on day 17 with 3 days to go on the milk diet, i get tired but nothing else sound like you are having a bad time on it ((((hugs)))).
Your having a sleeve to !!! mine is the 21st Feb so a few days before you, here's to a smooth journey for you xxxxxx
 
Thx & good luck to you too. We should compare notes after the op LOL
 
Hi Honey :D which diet are you doing? I did the milk diet & experienced low grade headaches for a few days in the middle & loss of energy the last few days but it was sooo worth it :D I think all your side effects are normal if very disturbing & a result of carb withdrawal ... most people will get one or two but you have the whole lot :wave_cry: If you are doing the milk diet as I was, I know it will get better for you soon but if on the low cal one, someone else will have to advise. Not long now, honey :wave_cry: good luck for the 25th :) xxx
 
V low cal food diet. I was offered a shake diet or milk diet or food diet. Sticking to it so strictly & constantly checking diet sheet. Struggle a bit with consuming required protein but dietician said apart from this I was doing well. Made it today with egg omelette for dinner. Yeah but it don't feel like it. Wow I am dreading th post op!
So weird that have completely lost my appetite. Been sick before & always found room for food LOL
