I am 4 days out and I kind of have headaches too. I am in the Houston area, and I think it is related to the weather. My doc allowed me to resume using Flonase. Do you have those problems in San Antonio? It's a little drier there, but nonetheless there have been clouds moving in and out all week.

I agree with Lilee! If you're are getting your fluids in and headaches come and go, it could very well be the cafeine withdrawal. I hope you feel better soon! Mostly I wanted to congratulate you and send you well wishes!!!! Welcome to the losers bench! :-)

I totally forgot that I wouldn't be able to have caffeine after surgery and I'm sure my headaches afterward were because of that. If I'd thought about it, I would have tapered it off instead of going cold turkey. Ouch!!

The good thing is, although I have an occasional cup of coffee or latte, I can take it or leave it now and I like that.

Caffeine is a powerful drug and I'd prefer not to have it in my body most of the time.

Onward,

CC

      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.
