jujube 42 Posted March 11, 2014 Today has been 3 weeks since my surgery. I have not had one headache (other than in the hospital which the nurse said was from the morphine). Pre surgery i would have a pretty bad headache at least 4-5 times a week. Hope this continues and I am not jinxing myself writing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madam Reverie 2,958 Posted March 11, 2014 It has been suggested that a complete reduction in eating those horrible processed carbohydrates has an impact on the amount of headaches we get.... I have to say I concur.. (being a Migraine sufferer) I have had very few since being sleeved. Long may it continue - for all of us! 3 Bobbi McGhee, Danni-doinit4me and DeniseNCC1701 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jujube 42 Posted March 11, 2014 I was thinking it may have something to do with carbs, also. I was a BIG sweet eater. Working in a doctor office we always have people bringing goodies. I would eat cake for lunch and have another piece later in the day ????. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RJ'S/beginning 5,358 Posted March 11, 2014 Me too. Due to a back injury 7 years ago I began to have constant Migraines. To the point that I needed treatment every second day that cost me into the thousands of dollars every year....I just wanted to die sometimes..Medication did not even touch them. Since surgery I have only had 5. I am so stoked about that...Days go by without a headache of any kind.... 1 Danni-doinit4me reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TenderTummy 9 Posted March 11, 2014 I am hoping that I have a similar outcome. My Migraines require Imitrex shots, which I have to ration because the insurance company limits how many you can buy per month to four. Cannot wait for the surgery (March 17th) - I will probably be suffering right up until then - in fact I have one coming on now, But the end is sight - so I am hurting and hopeful - LOL - sounds like it should be the title of a chapter in Shades of Grey.

CubsWinCubsWin 108 Posted March 11, 2014 The fact that we are more aware of what we eat and do not eat the same junk we did before surgery can only help our overall health. Once I get further through the recovery process do I expect my mental alertness to increase and my productivity to only get better once I go back to work. It is no coincidence.
