It could be a number of things but "drinking a ton" does not equate to "enough."

My Surgeon for the first month post-op wanted me drinking 6 - 16.9 bottles of Water a day. Not only was it SUPER difficult but overwhelming. But I contribute the fact that I followed those orders to my easy healing process.

Did you drink caffeine before surgery?

Maybe it's the pain meds.

Maybe it's just your body's way of telling you to rest, get more Protein and drink more fluids.

Or it could just be that four days after surgery your body is going through an incredible transition. It is purging all the gas, fluids, IV meds and anesthesia on top of being cut off from calories, carbs, caffeine.

It also just maybe a food (hunger) headache. They are real. They are brutal and you just have to ride them out.

There are a lot of drugs that have to work through your system.

A basic headache is no mystery.

Now a blood clot is a different story.

Have you been up and moving around frequently ?

I'm just getting through the same timeframe myself. The pain meds gave me a mild headache.

Water; drink more. Lack of caffeine; it will pass but is unpleasant to be sure.
