Sooooooooooooo....Although I'm asthmatic, have allergies and sinus issues frequently...I keep all that well under control with inhalers, and antihistamines. I have never ever (promise) been a headache person, honestly, and I know that seems unusual. But in the last week, I've probably noted 3-4 headaches, one being right now...all of them always being in the evening about this time. Can diet be a cause? and I'm so confused about NSAID's (?)...I don't have much to choose from in my med cabinet, cuz, well, I never need 'em....I have Aleve...and some left over liquid prescript. pain meds...which is what I used the last headache, so I could get to sleep...which I'm an earlier "go to bed person"...it's actually almost past my bed time...lol. Tylenol, right? over Aleve?

Ya know, that's a good point...I'm usually home all day and getting my fluids in, but today I got out and ran tons if errands for my 78 year old dad, then my 21 year old step daughter needed some things, etc...totally could be that.

Use Tylenol, aleve is an NSAID, which irritates the stomach and thins the blood. May be dehydration or caffeine or carb withdrawal. Good 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.
