So I get these terrible headaches' date=' And I just got sleeved 10/30/12, has anyone experienced the horrible headaches? I need to get some stool softeners also. When they say liquid foods after 1 week, would that be 11/06 for me, cream Soups, Mashed potatoes.[/quote']

Are you taking the dissolvable peppermint flavored nausea pill? (Sorry- don't know the name off hand) one of the major side effects of it is headaches.

Also even minor dehydration can cause a headache.

My date was 10/31, I've had a couple of headaches too- I'm on liquids for 2 weeks- but I have my follow up Friday and I'm doing well so I'm hoping they'll let me add like yougert and scrambled eggs then.

Don't get discouraged! My scale went up 2 lbs (prob. water) and I know it is just a matter of time before I lose it and several more pounds. It has to go down! There's only 1 way for it to go from now on and that's down!

Hi Ladyt,

I was sleeved 10/22/12. For the first week I had a constant headache. I'm not sure if it was from being put under , or from the pain mess in the hospital. But after about three days at home it went away and I felt so much better. Losing the headache made a world of differance . Try hard to keep up on your Water intake , I just kept telling myself it was helping flush all the chemicals out. Hang in there, you'll feel so much better soon!

      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.
