Starch Withdrawal?



Recommended Posts

Had a fill 2 days ago, since then I've had a headache. I'm into mushies now and don't feel hungry. Do you think the headache could be starch withdrawal (I love starches). I usually associate this headache with hunger, which I would feed with starch and all would be better. I've been good though and haven't had starches yet. Any thoughts?

Yes with withdrawal of the powerful drug of sugar our bodies are going to respond negatively. It won't last long I promise.

I like that you are aware of the mind body connection. You are listening to your body which is great. Some on here are years out of surgery and have not learned to listen to their bodies and begin associated one symptom to another behavior. Good for you. You will do well noticing your bodies signals when you are full. You will do well recognizing mind hunger from body hunger. Good for you!!

Thanks! The first go-around I didn't listen to my body, in fact I didn't know how to. That's the reason it didn't work. Now I'm learning to.

It's good to know that this won't last! :-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
