I am right at 2 months out, and I am 26 pounds down, however for the last 2 weeks I am having trouble with headaches. Everyday in the afternoon I an getting splitting headaches. Has anyone else found that they were getting headaches? Is there something my body is not getting? I shouldn't be in sugar, carb or caffeine withdrawal because it has been months since I've had any of those things and the headaches only started about 2 weeks ago. Any advice welcome thanks.

How is your Fluid intake? Are you getting the recommended 64 ounces in? Even if you are, maybe try getting in some more. Dehydration can cause headaches. Call you surgical team, in any case, so they know what is going on. They may be able to suggest treatments. Good luck to you!

I had this issue as well. I was taking in at least 100 Fluid ounces a day and getting in all of my Vitamins, Protein, etc. My surgeon suggested that I up my calorie intake. This was at my 3 month post op appt. I was managing around 600-700 calories. He suggested I increase it to 1,000 calories. I do walk 3.5 miles 3-4 times a week. As increased my calories I did notice that I felt better and the headaches went away for the most part.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
