Some mild headache issues



Recommended Posts

Had my Sleeve surgery last Friday 9-17-10. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Bloading gone. Dropped nearly 7 lbs since Friday! (keep looking behind me to see where I dropped those pounds. LOL!)

Only problem now is a small headache. Probably from nearly no calories, and no caffine! Also on day 0 and most of day 1 I found it hard to take in very much liquid. I shouldn't have a problem reaching the 64oz. today.

All and all I feel GREAT!

When they weighed me at the hospital I was down a lot more then I thought. A small part of me said if I could loose the weight without surgery then why have the surgery? My answer is that I would just regress to old habits. I plan on continuing my support group through Kaiser in order to stay on track.

I did increase the Water intake and after awhile it got better and hasn't bothered me since.

Today is day 4 (224lbs, 9lbs. down since surgery) and don't have to drink Isopure anymore! It was like medicine. Now I can drink muscle milk etc. also I can have creamed soups! 4 oz. of Cream of chicken never tasted so good! Even got to have 4 oz. of vanilla sugar-free pudding!

      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.
