Waking up with headache



Recommended Posts

Surgery was Monday, 7/28. I have had no issues getting Fluid down or meds-- which has really surprised me. My only issues have been shoulder pain, really. I also had a hiatal hernia done.

However, since I was allowed fluids back into my diet I have been having bad headaches that wake me up. Thinking it may be dehydration, I ave tried to hydrate as well as possible before bed and during the night. I have been nearing my Protein requirements but still managing about 40g out of the 60g required.

Any ideas?

You are detoxing from pain meds and other things they gave you while you were in the hospital..You are bound to react in this way. Shoulder pain. Could be they hit a nerve. You need to keep hydrated and continue on the path.

If the shoulder pain continues..Get it checked out okay.

If you are worried about hydration drink some fluids with electrolytes or coconut Water. That is a natural hydrater. :)

That makes a lot of sense! I will give it a shot today with the coconut Water

Thank you for replying

I had a headache for several days but then it finally went away. Just give it time. The shoulder pain could be from the gas they pumped into you.

      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?
