I was just at the doctor yesterday and asked this very question... this was their answer.

Try the liquid Lortab first, then tylenol and if it's absolutely needed I can have some ibuprofen but it makes you bleed so it's a last resort and kind of like the kill switch. You can only do it once.

This was in the event of a Migraine, regular headache?? Tylenol and a quick prayer (Dr's advice not mine lol)

Me and my son have Migraines. Mine is often. His is after sports. We are finding that adding coconut Water or at least hydrate yourself too will help. Here's a prayer to becoming headache free!

I was a horrible Migraine suffer pre surgery, since surgery, I have only had small HA's. They do go away with tylenol. But if I get a migraine, I'm going to urgent care for a shot. I have learned not to suffer. I am totally enjoying being HA free......... Dancing in the rain today! :rolleyes:

Drinking more Water or fluids usually helps with mine. I have also had some tension headaches though from the weight loss and carrying myself different so I try to stretch throughout the day too

Thanks all, I went out and bought me some liquid Tylenol. But, also drank more Water and the headache seemed to have subsided. Perhaps, I was getting a wee bit dehydrated. Rock on with your weight losses...

      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.
