hi Nel

I've been having headaches too when I wake up. I am off meds TOTALLY, so I don't drink anything for it. It does go away most of the time.

I have found since I've started increasing my Water (and drinking in bed at night as well), they seem to have disappeared. Try having a good go at your water intake.

hope you're better soon!

Does anyone else wake up with headaches all the time? I have one pretty much every morning. Not big ones.....just annoying.

Sometimes I wonder if all of the chemicals in sugar free and fat free products, even maybe Protein supplements, can effect us like that

I am two weeks too. My doc moved me to soft foods a few days ago. How are you both doing food wise?

You are also welcome to text me.

I suck at food/fluids.

My pouch is picky and angry most of the time. It hates medications the worst.

How are you doing?

Back to work tomorrow. I've been doing well getting in Water, Protein, Vitamins etc. being at home because that has been my focus. A little worried,that I won't do as well with work added into the mix. How did you all make the transition back to the real world?

I am 2 weeks as well! I am having most trouble with food in general! Not that I can't handle it but more that I am afraid of it. I eat once a day, at most. I have no problem with Vitamins and Water, but shakes make me gag, so they are out at the moment.

:) Thank you!!!!

I get a ton of water all day...but maybe I need more at night! Even though I end up having to get up in the middle and pee...sigh. But I'll give it a shot. Most days I hit at least 100 oZ thought.

100 oz is a lot I don't think the headaches are from dehydration. Maybe blood pressure, or maybe seasonal allergies or stress?

I'm going to go with seasonal allergies. Or that I don't drink at all at night. I don't know. I'll start drinking more. If not, I'll call the doc and see what I can take. :) My blood pressure is good. I've never had any issues there. :)

      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.
