Hey Lalaredd, I am 15 days post op and had similar issues. I am no doctor, but at my two week follow up appt. the bariatric nurse said dehydration is a common/serious problem. You MUST drink your 8 cups of Water. Soon as I went home I got in the 8 glasses, and haven't had a headache in 2 days. As far as the hunger, guuurl, that is a mess. I hated it, but when you get to eat mushy food you will feel so much better and fuller. To combat that hunger during the liquid phase I had soupy oatmeal and farina, as well as Tomato Soup and mashed cottage cheese. Hope that helps and you feel better.

I also know how you feel. I don't get the headaches, but I always feel hungry. I drink plenty of Water, but I still get hunger pains. I am 2 weeks post, and I hope it gets better.:biggrin2:

I am 19 days post-op and feel hungry most of the time - I am bad about drinking enough Water but I have almost no restriction so it is easy for me to get food down and my stomach growls all the time even after I have eaten a meal - I get full fast when I eat but about 2 hours later I am hungry again - it is depressing.

That is exactly how I feel. When I eat, I get full quickly. About 2-3 hours later, I am starving. How can the hunger be controled?

I feel so guilty eating now - I am able to eat so much food - I am still not eating what I used to but I wish I would get full faster and feel more restriction. The band is so much less restrictive than I thought it would be. I get my first fill on August 11. Can't wait.

I had my surgery two weeks ago. I find that I don't really get hungry until I eat carbs. If I eat mostly Protein, I just really don't get hungry. Sometimes when I am out and don't have a choice but to eat mashed potatoes or something, then I'm hungry the rest of the day. The next morning I just start with a Protein Shake and then just protein all day.

I was banded 6 days ago and I've had a few headaches that I think are related to either my blood sugar being low (because I'm hardly eating!) or caffeine withdrawal. I got some sugar free coffee candies that have caffeine in them and I have a few of those and it seems to help. Did you drink coffee or tea or caffeinated sodas before your surgery?
