I had headaches the first couple weeks the nurse said probally wasnt getting enough Protein and fluids. I did have a hard time trying to get my Proteins and fluids down. I also was diabetic and had high bp but no more. Just keep trying to hydrate your self and get your Protein Shakes in it does help. Good luck.

having a headache makes things so much more difficult. I am a Migraine sufferer. As was previously stated do what you can to stay hydrated and try your best to get in enough Protein even if at minimum which I think may be 50 grams. I am suffering with a migraine myself today. Also some things that have helped me to cope with the headaches have been vicks vapor rub on my head, the peel of lemon (I paste the inside of it to the spot where my head aches worst with the vicks and then put an ice pack on top.. Best wishes.

My headaches stemmed from not getting enough Water that early out (I also wasn't getting in all of my Protein, but when I upped my water, the headaches eased). You may want to check in with your surgeon and/or other doctor due to your diabetes and high bp. Keep us posted.

My husband had terrible headaches for a couple of weeks following his surgery. We think it was mostly caffeine withdrawal actually.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
