Lately I've been getting really bad Migraine headaches. Today will be the third time in about a week and half. Pre op I don't typically get headaches and not one this bad (It just feels like my head's about to explode). The good thing is that it never really last for long if I'm unable to get to tylenol. I've been trying to pinpoint when its happening and what could cause it but I'm unable to figure it out. I am 4 weeks post op and all my fluids, Protein, and exercise are on par. So I was curious has anyone experienced this? I know this sounds crazy and probably unrelated. Thank you

This was on discussion yesterday are you drinking Crystal Lite? Crystal lite has a product in in that starts with an "a" (sorry forgot the word) but folks are getting bad migrains when consumed.

I was taking crystal light up until this last weekend. But today I still had the headache.

I guess I'm kinda lucky, I do not drink crystal light. I found that sugar-free generic brands are just as tasty if not better tasting. Here lately I hav been making unsweetened iced-t and putting in a packet (or 2) of splenda as I drink it. It taste good, Decaf, and it last...I make it by the gallon. I have had sugar-free drinks such as fruit punch, grape, peach iced-t and they all taste great - I don't miss crystal light at all. :D

      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.
