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>

      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.
