Migraines

I can definitely relate to your misery! I have had two previous surgeries - with both of them, I got the WORST Migraine of my life a few hours after surgery-the surgery was piece of cake - getting rid of the migraine was the real issue! I take preventative meds every day and still get numerous Migraines throughout the month - a really bad one during "that time of the month." I'm really hoping that changing my eating habits will help the migraines - good luck to you. Looks like my surgery won't be untll September - when will you have surgery??

Mom22, not sure who you are asking. If you are asking me, I don't know yet when my surgery will be. I am a self-pay and have my seminar on July 24th. I heard that this doctor usually does surgery 2-3 weeks after appointment on those not using insurance. If so, the surgery should be the end of August or in September if the doctor agrees to do it.

Mom, if you were talking to me, i am also unknown. I have to wait till my insurance will cover (March 09). I am on Migraine controls meds too, they help a little. I have tried lots and finally found one that might help and the side effects arent horrible (none). I have heard that some people get a spike in migraine activity for a little while post op (like a month or so) but then as their weight loss slows, their Migraines go down, back to normal. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to help most people with migraines as far as decreasing them, except for those that had high blood pressure and becuase that resolved, so did the migraines...

I guess it doesnt help EVERYTHING but its still a GOOD THING.

take care =)

      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.
