Julie S. 1 Posted November 13, 2015 I just had my surgery Nov.9th and had headaches the first 3 days, yesterday was the first day I woke up feeling great!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waler 330 Posted November 13, 2015 headaches usually go with the caffeine withdrawals, as for being tired it took me a week or two to get back in the swing of things, but it gets better each day. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BranMo103 10 Posted November 13, 2015 I was sleeved on the 9th also. I did have headaches late in the day on day 2 and 3 but I contributed it to the neck pain that I've been having, perhaps from not being able to sleep like I usually do. As for coffee, I've had it everyday since I returned home. It's on my list of Clear liquids that I can have, as long as I don't use a dairy Creamer. I haven't been able to drink a whole cup, but I will sip about half a cup The only problem other than that I am having is some tightening in my chest whenever I eat or drink. This may be due the hernia that Dr. Moore repaired, hopefully though, this too passes. I'm really ready to get back to normal life and activities. I've been walking 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes on my treadmill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curvybritt 53 Posted November 15, 2015 I like coffee, but haven't had any headaches. I would say it may be caffeine withdrawal. Maybe ask you NUT when you can start your coffee fix again? I would say you would probably start during your Nourishing liquids Phase (Phase 2). curvybritt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louisab79 6 Posted November 15, 2015 I had surgery the 9th too. I'm feeling so hungry also drained and tired. Today I ate a little Greek yogurt and it helped a little meaning maybe 4 spoonfuls in 6 hours. Im not sure it was a good idea but it did help me a little with the hunger. I'm not a caffeine drinking so no headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

net0girl 13 Posted November 17, 2015 How are the Nov 9TH PEOPLE doing? I feel like i can eat and drink too much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mom26 313 Posted November 17, 2015 I'm a Nov 9th sleevie... I feel pretty good. I accidentally took a single gulp of Protein shake this morning. Yikes. I've never been a big eater - just a bad eater. That said, I have to remind myself to drink. I'm on full liquids for another week. I have a cup of Soup sitting right next to me as I type this. It's 1/2 cup and I think I've had 10 sips the past hour. Hoping pureed foods give me a bit more energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Protege01 16 Posted November 18, 2015 How are the Nov 9TH PEOPLE doing? I feel like i can eat and drink too much. I was sleeved on the 9th and I think I'm just barely getting enough Protein and liquids. Its hard to constantly drink all day. As far as drinking too much, I seem to be able to drink my Breakfast shake (8 oz) within about 20 mins but my wife (also sleeved on the 9th) takes about an hour. After that meal though its tough to get in more and more liquids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
