Yes, between lack of proper nutrients and all the drugs in your system, it's very normal.

Hang in there, it does get better. If you don't have liquid Tylenol at home, I'd get some and take it for the headaches (as long as it won't interact with other meds).

Try children's aspirin free melt away or liquid ibuprofen. I'm on day 3 and the head aches are gone and I haven't needed pain meds for 24 hours.. It gets better I think the headaches are from the pain meds and not eating... But I am not medically trained so I don't know for sure. I've been working on getting my Protein in because that has helped my headaches a lot.. I even get up in the middle of the night to sip on Protein. Hope this helps. Vicki

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
