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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
