sandralala 5 Posted September 27, 2016 I'm 6 weeks post-op and for the last 3, I've been getting a headache at around the same time each day. Had two blood tests and I'm not dehydrated. Anyone have any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 27, 2016 @@sandralala Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin B12 deficiency ?? Did they check your vitamin levels? Are you eating something at that time that may be causing an allergy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandralala 5 Posted September 27, 2016 @@KristenLe all Vitamins are good. We had to get our d levels up before surgery and I've been really good with the supplements post surgery. Maybe I will try to switch up the Protein and see if the Isopure is causing it. That is the only thing that I've had regularly as far as food/drink.

sandralala 5 Posted September 27, 2016 Thanks @@KristenLe! I've never been allergic to anything in my life. Figures something like that would start now of all times. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caribear 184 Posted September 27, 2016 Where is your headache? Is it across your forehead, at the back of your head, or all over? Are you having any other symptoms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caribear 184 Posted September 27, 2016 Sounds like a tension headache. Are you back to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandralala 5 Posted September 27, 2016 Yes @caribear. I went back to work 2 weeks post op. I run a pizza place, so it's not like I'm sitting in front of a computer. The headaches are on my days off as well. I will just tell my husband that I require neck rubs more often now If my doctor would just give me back my ibuprofen, this wouldn't be an issue.

Caribear 184 Posted September 27, 2016 That's a good way to make a bad situation good I would try stretching your neck when you can, and try a different Protein Drink. It can't hurt. I also always recommend a good massage therapist, as long as you have clearance from your surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
