November Sleevers

[mynewlife15 10]

One week from now my surgery will be over! Getting nervous but excited. Pre-op diet going well I can't say I've been hungry unless it is time to eat again. I've lost 9 lbs so far so hopefully a few more before next Wednesday. Good luck everyone. We are gonna be fabulous and healthier.

Healthier, non-fluffy me - Priceless

Day 4. Can't sleep because I have such a bad headache. This has been 4 days straight. Really need this to let up some...

[mynewlife15 10]

Keep drinking!!! Water, Decaf coffee, tea, crystal light. I'm drinking a lot. I've been lucky and no headaches from pre op diet. Hope yours stop.

Sorry about your headache. Today is day two for me. before bed I had a cup of Decaf tea, a little headache but not as bad as I thought.

[HopeandAgony 566]

I stopped on my way to work and got some propel and extra strength Tylenol. My head is seriously hurting with no let up. Still have stuck to the diet though. Hopefully this will be the last day. I've been searching this website for info on this headache issue and most people say it stops day 5. I really hope so. I wasn't a huge caffeine drinker so I'm not sure what is going on. I am also drinking over 100 Oz of Water a day. Not sure what else to do!

You might check with your surgeons office and see if you could use a headache powder such as Goodys. Don't know if it would make a difference or not but I bet you're willing to try anything right about now (I know I would be).

[HopeandAgony 566]

The Tylenol & propel seems to have taken the edge off but it's lingering in the background which makes me feel "fuzzy".

I didn't really consider myself a bad eater before this. I didn't drink a lot of caffeine so this has definitely caught me off guard. If today isn't the magical day I will be calling the office tomorrow to ask about something to help. I normally have a high pain tolerance so this is really tough.

Well there is always the cure that Uncle Fester used on the Addams Family. Get a large wood clamp, place on head and tighten appropriately.

At this point, I would probably consider this.

My sleeve surgery date is Nov. 16th. It's being performed at Eisenhower hospital in Rancho Mirage, CA by Dr. Bobby Basker-Rao. Tomorrow I start an 8 day pre-op diet followed by two final days of Clear Liquids only. Can't believe it's almost here!
