I went walking yesterday and did a mile and a half just fine. Well my hubby decided we were goin to take the long way home which was about another 3/4 of a mile. I knew I was not ready but did it anyways. I got about 1/2 a mile and started getting really dizzy. I stopped and tried to calm down. Once the dizziness subsided I got this horrible headache. I made it home and immediately sat on the couch to cool off.

Well, I still have the headache. It's worse at sometimes that at others. At certain times it hurts so bad I'm almost in tears. It's this intense pressed in the back of my head and then sudden sharp pains in my temple areas. I've tried Tylenol and it has not helped. Does anyone have any advise? I have not done anything at all today because it is hurting so bad. Worse part is my husband is just brushing it off as a typical headache, but this is far from typical. This hurts worse than any headache iv ever had.

I know this is an obvious question, but I have to ask. Are you drinking enough fluids?

I try to. I go thru 5-6 bottles of Water a day plus whatever other fluids I take in. Not much for actually drinking anything but Water. And I felt fine until yesterday. We walk a mile to a mile and a half everyday as well.

:( sorry my guess was dehydration... I would call the doctor in the morning if I where you.

I know I get Migraines sometimes and Tylenol does nothing to help!

I emailed my doctor last night and he basically said I don't know what it is, call your PCP. Well, ok fine. Lol. Problem is we just moved and I don have a PCP in my area yet. I guess if it's still this bad tomorrow I will swing into urgent care. Thanks for your suggestion.

Two Excedrin Migraine chased with a flat Mountain Dew... Or strong tea. The caffeine with the pills will help. Then, sleep.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
