dehydration headaches are killer. FOr me, they are usually directly in the forehead or top of my head. MAke sure you are getting your fluids in!

You can take tylenol, it may help. But the best thing to do is to consult with your doctor if it persists.

Low sugar/carbs can also cause it.

I think you are about a week out?? Or so? The first week or so my whole throat felt pretty raw and it felt like everything was clunk clunking down until it finally hit a painful bottom.. It does get better I'm time though.

Most doctors will say to take about a half hour to eat the 1/4 cup of food.chew slow and a lot also take a minute or two between bites.

You might be drinking to fast.. You can also play with the temperatures of the water...

I think it's probably reflux. I too have been feeling that way. I think my headaches are a cross between clenching my jaw and detoxing off sugar, caffeine, carbs etc. try some baby Tylenol. But definitely try to drink some more Water.

      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.
