Less Headaches - you too?

[Little Kansas Kitty 213]

Hi All! I've found some studies that suggest that some weight loss surgery patients are more prone to Migraines post-op, however at almost 15 weeks post-op myself I'm finding the opposite and have not had a single headache. I wonder if it's because I've cut sugar, alcohol and caffeine from my diet? Curious if anyone else is experiencing this amazing benefit?

It's more likely it's due to being properly hydrated now. Although cutting sugars, alcohols and caffeine will help out to some extent (depending on the research you are looking at) as well, but I feel the majority of it is due to folks actually paying attention to and consuming the proper amounts of Water.

@mattz - Ah, yes! I didn't think of that. The hydration makes perfect sense!

I used to have headaches as well everyday, I just gave up as to what was the cause. But now that I am almost off most of the medication that I was taking before surgery for high BP, Diabetes, Cholesterol and NO MORE headaches...Waalah!

I am making healthy choices and reading labels more.

@wanda247 - Love hearing that! Good for you and awesome success so far. All these wonderful NSV's and added benefits we have now that we are becoming healthier.

I used to be a chronic Migraine headache sufferer. I'm off caffeine, sugar, etc and I literally have not even had one once. It's been amazing.

That's so awesome! I thought I was on to something. Good choices in to our bodies help our bodies feel good. Congrats!
