I woke up today (day 3) with a headache. I took 1 tablespoon of adult liquid Tylenol and slowly sipped about 4 oz of Water. I feel quite a bit better.

Story of my life! I was sleeved 11/26 as well. I find that Water and/or Protein helps. I haven't been able to figure out what it's from though.

Me too, I think I am not drinking enough since headaches are a sign of dehydration. Just need to keep sipping i suppose

It is probably mild dehydration. Make sure you are sipping Water all day long. I found that smart water and Vitamin water zero really helped. I found warm/room temperature helped too.

Also keep track of your thyroid. I was getting migains at 6 months out and found that my thyroid meds were too high.

Don't be afraid to take some liquid Tylenol or fast melts. Your body is healing.

Good Luck

I knew I wasn't getting enough water... Dunno why I didn't associate that with my headaches

For me, it seems like headaches are due to my new food intake, I now eat very little carbs (3 1/2 weeks post-op). Caffeine helps, as long as you are not dehydrated. Also sugar helps me, have had some Coke (after shaking it to make it flat) that helps me tremendously. I am hoping that as my body adjusts to my new eating habits the headaches will subside.

Best of luck!

      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.
