Are my migraines gone??? For good????



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I’m currently 11 days post-op and feeling pretty good, although I can’t wait for puréed foods!! Lol

Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced what I’m going through. I was diagnosed with Migraines in High School and have had them ever since. I wasn’t always obese, was average in high school and in great health, sports,etc. So migraines were never attributed to weight. Even as I got older I had periods of time when I was an ok weight. All I was able to pinpoint was that if I got too overheated I would get a Migraine but really they would come anytime, especially during my period and a drop in barometric pressure.

Truthfully, one of the things I was mostly scared of during this whole process was being able to take my migraine medicine if I got one. I must have asked my primary care and any other doctor about this like a million times and even though they told me it would be fine to take (during pre-liquid diet,post-op,etc) I was waiting with anxiety. I got a few during my pre-op liquid stage and it was horrible.

So here I am, 11 days post-op, barely taking anything in because I’m on full liquids still and not very hungry......and no migraines!!!! I’m afraid to say it aloud for fear they’ll come back but I’m so surprised!!! I even started my period and nothing!!!

Has anyone experienced this? Could my migraines have gone away forever????!!!! If they did it would be the best thing ever let me know if anyone else has gone through this....does anyone know of a correlation between your stomach and migraines?? So curious. Thank you!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
