My wife had her surgery in May of last yr, doing great I might add. She has had a Migraine since Monday night. She is sleeping now and if she wakes up again with we r headed to the emergency room. I know since she had surgery there r something's she can't take anymore. But what can she take to make it go away and/or ease up a bit. It's not fun to see someone you love hurtin like this. This is her husband and it's killing me to see how bad she is. HELP

Your wife should really see her physician for a migraine which lasts more than a day.

I have frequequent Migraines, and have a strong pain med for relief. There are many other options for treatment, but they are all prescription meds. Sometimes warm compresses on the forehead and back of the neck have helped me.

Just be certain to avoid any NASIDS, such as any medication which contains asperin or ibuprofen, as the risk for possible complications may be significant.

I hope she feels better fast...

My doctor gave me topamax for my headaches. It works ok but I had to stop taking it because of the side effects. I didn't like the dizziness and numbness in my feet. I've been told by others to ask about Botox injections. It's worth a try.

      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.
