Have you talked with your surgeon's office about your headaches? Did you kick the caffeine habit prior to surgery? If not it could be withdrawal. Other than that I don't know what it could be so you should talk with your doctor.

@@ChrisInc2 - I know, the worst headaches I ever had was when I quit caffeine suddenly. It takes one to two weeks to taper off without pain http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-9165/how-to-quit-caffeine-in-one-week-painlessly.html Please restart, no need to suffer

Ugh yes they were awful! I had to take Tylenol a few times. That diet on top of no caffeine even though I had been limiting coffee a lot was just ugh. Not fun. Ask your team about Tylenol I was surprised at how fast it helped when had a couple of really bad headaches.
