Headaches With Not Eating

[IMABear 57]

Hello All,

I guess it is time for me to start asking questions and kinda introduce myself.

I am a 42y/o male (43 in Aug).

Im currently at 315bs.

I have tried many diets in the past and can't keep the weight off after i lose.

I will be making my first appointment in the next few weeks.

My question for now is: Currently if I don't eat (do to being to busy to eat or wait to long to eat) I will start to get a pretty good headache that will most likely turn into a Migraine.< /p>

My blood sugar is pretty normal at all times.

My concern with the Sleeve is that with such low intake, I think I will always have a Headache...

Did anyone else have this problem or concern.

Thank You

I have not been sleeved yet, but the same thing happens to me and I was just wondering this today. Protein and black coffee usually fix my headaches now. Can't wait to hear the responses.

get off the caffiene now !!! save yourself the hassle later and before the sleeve you can still use excedrin Migraine. cut back gradually and increase your fluids. headaches are brought on more by dehydration. also try eating 6 mini meals per day instad of the typical 3 meals and see if that helps. before surgery all I drank was diet coke and coffee, it took me a good 4 months for my headaches to go away totally

Ohh, I am very familiar with the Caffeine Withdrawl Headache.... Ouch

These headaches are more from not eating. I don't think from the caffeine.

Worried that eating so little will cause me headaches.

Lauranbob, so you no longer have your headaches?

Pepples, unfortunately for this reason.... But Glad to be in the same boat with ya

i only drink 1 cup a day and if it's black, a half cup will suffice. From what I've read...it's all about the protein! I haven't been sleeved, but I will keep you informed when I do about the headache situation!

I have been headache free for months prior to having the surgery. I make sure I drink my required fluids and get all my Protein in. Doesnt mean that I will not have a Decaf Iced coffee once in a while. I love the flavor of coffee. Not eating just makes me grumpy. and I have never been a big Breakfast person. I usually have my Protein Shake when I first get up. lunch (protein) and diner (protein), I always have eggface's protein ice cream for dessert. good luck to you

Thank you Pebbles, when do you have your surgery?

Thank you Lauranbob,

I will be able to get through the Caffeine withdrawal. Been there done that.

I never gave much thought to the headaches being Protein (lack of) related. I will have to monitor that.

I do notice if I keep up with my H2O Im less likely to have a headache.

What Protein shakes do you use?
