Starting to get headaches again



Recommended Posts

Well I had my surgery on 7/3, came home on 7/5 and been doing great today out of know where I got a headache which won't go away, I've been getting all my Protein and Fluid in I really don't know what this is about. Have any one experience a headache out of know where, did it go away or what did you do to get rid of it?

I just did a search for headaches and saw this. I suffered from Migraines before surgery. I am just a little over 3 months out. After surgery, I did not have any migraines at all until this week. I have had one every afternoon this week. It is really cramping my style!!!! :angry: Anyway, my husband suggested I check here to see if anyone else had a problem like this. I thought it might be allergies, but I take antihistamines everyday for chronic eczema, so I can't figure out why that could be it. I also have been on point, or slightly behind, on Water intake. I have not exercised for the last three days due to the headaches. I don't drink caffeine. I quit after surgery and had no headaches. I average between 500 & 600 calories a day. No sugar.

Has anyone had this issue? Any ideas? I am afraid I am doing something wrong to cause this. Any help would be appreciated. :)

I used to get Migraines. I was on daily meds to prevent them. (I'd still get a doozy when Flo showed up.) But I've been off it since surgery.

I do get some headaches. Usually ibuprofen takes them down. I have taken a pain pill twice hoping it would be gone in the morning, and that worked.

I prefer this approach over being on topiramate.

I do drink Decaf coffee & tea and sometimes have Chike coffee Protein powder. So I do get some caffeine, but very little.

I barely get 64oz of my Water in. Some days it 6 cups and not 8. So I've wondered if I need more when this happens.

Since the dr used to think my migraines were hormonal, I'm guessing that the hormones we are dumping could also be causing them.

      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.
