I have used straws since 6 weeks post-op and have not had any problems this last month. I was also told no straws because it could cause air to get trapped and cause pain.

I was banded on May 8th and also take BCP but my doctor didn't make me stop. I even took my BCP with me to the hospital to take the next morning since I would be staying over night and the nurses knew I took it and they didn't say anything.

Thank you for your replies - with your positive comments I can see a painfree light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to get there!

I started my liquid diet yesterday and I have had a splitting headache since yesterday afternoon. I got home from work last night, fed my kids dinner and went straight to bed because I thought I was going to die. My head is still killing me.

Has anyone else had this problem? If this continues I don't know what I will do because I know I won't be able to last 2 weeks with this pain.

I have been drinking all of my required items from the doctor so I am supposedly getting all of my necessary nutrition and I have been taking my Vitamins and Calcium.< /p>

HELP!!!!!!

I have been visiting the site for over six months but this is my first post.

I am scheduled to banded on May 8th. I am very excited but scared about starting the liquid diet because I am very prone to Migraines if I did not eat properly.

I will be on a liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery.

I was wondering if anyone out there has migraines if either the liquid diet prior to banding or the restricted diet afterwards intensified their migraines. If so - how did you deal with it?
