Little headaches all the time



Recommended Posts

Hey everybody, for the past couple weeks I've been having slight headaches. They're so minor that most of the time I can ignore them and put them totally out of my mind, but they have been coming back again and again, all times of the day. I had a cold the week before last so I thought maybe it was related to sinuses, but I've been better for a while now, but the headaches are still there. Has anyone else had this? I have a doctor's appointment this Friday, so I'll definitely ask there, but I wanted to see if this is a common thing. Oh, I'll be 3 months out on the 11th. I get my 64 oz of fluids and my 60 grams of Protein a day, and I take my Vitamins (a bariatric multi w/ Iron, a Calcium chew, a b-complex, and a Biotin chew). I doubt it's dehydration. My bp has been very good at all my checkups. Any ideas on what this might be?

How many calories/food are you eating? If you caloric intake is too low that can cause headaches.

I would try upping fluids. 64 ounces might not be enough for you. Presleeve we consumed so much more volume we got Fluid even in some food and lots of drinking. I think rapid weight loss can cause chemical and hormone changes and whatever is stored in that fat. I think Water helps us flush toxins and I wonder if you don't need more.

Btw, I used to get hunger headaches but post sleeve I never do. My experience-it's more likely to be mild, chronic dehydration.

I normally fall between 600-800. I averaged about 710 this past week.

I had these in the beginning as well, and once I got to the point of better consistent Fluid intake they went away. Keep following your plan, and they will go away.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
