[doxieville 799]

Hi Everyone,

I was sleeved 4 weeks ago (8/21). About 2 weeks ago i noticed when i wake up I have a headache. Weird! I go see my surgeon soon and will ask him, but I wanted to know if anyone else does?

I did. EVERYDAY for a good while post surgery. I asked my surgeon and he said its because of the fat cells releasing all those hormones as they exit our bodies and that overload in hormones causes headaches for some of us. Hang in there. It gets better!

One of the first signs of dehydration is a headache. Make sure you concentrate on your Water intake.... Also if you had been drinking caffiene pre op and have stopped post of, it could be the cause too...

I was sleeved on 8/28, and I've been having them for about a week now. They're a little uncomfortable, but not to the point of debilitating. They changed my b/p meds after surgery, so I thought maybe that was the reason, but it's been within a normal range. Are you sleeping okay? I had insomnia the first 2 weeks.

I'm going to combine my responses to all you wonderful people who answered me:

No dehydration or caffeine. I am not a coffee drinker, every once in awhile I had a caffeinated cup of tea, and no caffeinated sodas.....so it's not caffeine or withdrawals. It's also not dehydration. I have a disease where my mucous membranes don't produce moisture so I'm always drinking. I even have special permission from my surgeon to drink w food. BUT for someone else who is reading this and has headaches, these are two excellent suggestions.

I am getting enough sleep, although I have noticed it is harder to fall asleep. Why IS that?

The release of the fat hormones makes sense, but i'm on a stall. Been stalled for 3 weeks. I'm not panicking because I lost 37 pounds in about 4 months, mostly pre-op, so I know my body needs to readjust.

Oh, I also am not drinking anything w aspartame.

It IS exactly what someone said, a little bothersome headache. Doesn't stop me from doing things, thank goodness, it's just annoying.

Thanks everyone! Maybe it's connected to the stall & hormones. Any other ideas are welcome & much appreciated.

Remember, just because Ur stalling doesn't mean those fat cells aren't getting smaller, moving around, and releasing those hormones!

And on a stall you're probably losing inches.

Yep, that's what I've heard!! I measured last night and my measurements haven't changed. But they will. I'm really not uptight about that. I'm not an uptight/anxious person. :-) It will happen when it happens.

But....i'll bet my fat is releasing hormones and that's why my head aches. That really seems to be the most logical explanation.

Thanks!!
