Anyone Have Headaches Post Op?



Recommended Posts

Well, I am four weeks out, and have started to have headaches for some reason. At first, I thought it was a blood sugar thing (had diabetes before surgery), but I checked my blood sugar and its not that.

Anyway, just wanted to check to see if anyone else started having headaches at the three week time frame. Weight loss is great, and everything else is going wonderfully.

Thanks.

If you could post what he says about it, I would really appreciate it. I had my three week appointment last week, but wasnt having a headache at the time, so I forgot to ask! :)

Oilsooner, bc your surgeon knows your medical history, I would call them lst thing in the am. I'm 4 months out and have always gotten Migraines before sleeve. I haven't had a Migraine since just a couple of stress HA's. I had a really bad one when I got home from the hospital and took some Loratab and the HA went away. ;)

I bet you're dehydrated. Are you drinking the amt of Water they tell us to drink each day?

My headaches are caused by being dehydrated. The doctor said to stop focusing on eating and worry about my fluids. I get a lot of my Protein from drinking milk which counts towards my Fluid intake. It is challenging every day to drink but it has helped my headaches.

      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.
