Headaches?

[Susysleever 265]

When I go to super low calories I get huge headaches. Did this happen to anybody else?

From what I read it happened to many of us, excruciating headaches. I understand it was weaning off caffeine and I was very dehydrated the day of surgery so one of the other or both. My husband had the headaches too. We went cold turkey off caffeine, no coffee and no diet cokes.

I get headaches from consuming aspartame. Check your artificial sweetener and yogurt products and take note of what you're eating when they come on.

I suffer from Migraines and low blood sugar is often a trigger. I used to skip Breakfast and not eat my first meal until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. At that point my blood sugar levels have crashed and often a headache would result. Now I eat a high Protein Shake or 3-4 scrambled egg whites in the morning. WHAT you eat may be key. Avoid carbohydrates if possible.

I'm on my two week pre-op diet and I've been getting headaches.

Mine eased up on day 4. Lemon ginger tea from Walmart helped me. I use stevia instead of aspartame. Hang in there u can do it!

I got them throughout my pre op liquid diet and I know it wasn't because of no caffeine because I have been caffeine free for like a year. On those days broth seemed to help. So far post op I haven't had any headaches.

I'm a Migraine suffer. Had them under control until surgery. Since then I had an attach every day. Hoping when I'm at goal my Migraines will be gone forever. I didn't suffer with them when I was normal weight.

I was in the er this week with a 3 day Migraine. If you have had wls, you could be dehydrated. The er doctor told me most people that have wls surgery (not all) are dehydrated. I was severely dehydrated and has to get 2 bags of fluids with migraine meds. I thought I was getting enough Water, but I wasn't. Just something to consider

I drink (drank!) a lot of caffinated drinks (mostly coffee/tea). So, in anticipation of my surgery I weened myself off of caffeine. I drink Decaf tea now and I am also increasing my Water intake to 2L / day. Drinking the Water helped flush out the toxins so if you are stopping caffeine, drink water like crazy! It really helps!

My counsellor at WLF said they want us to eat plan, greek yogurt - if we need to add vanilla (a drop for baking) to it that makes it yummy or spices (eg. Epicure spice dip mixes) or even add in some crystal light powder to flavour it. even greek yogurt with vanilla already in it has stuff we should probably never eat. It's all just a new life ....

Darbimolly crystal light has aspartame in it

[Branmuffin 190]

Mio doesn't contain aspartame (which gives me migraines)

I sent a message a minute ago & I have know idea where it ended up. Sorry, I'm just learning the site.I absolutely love fresh ground nutmeg & cinnamon on my yogurt. It's worth a try if you like the spices.
