Here is my preop for one week.
• All kinds of liquids
• Water, tea, lemon water (take at least 3.5 liters a day)
• fruit juice drinks, natural fruit beverages, chicken stock, yogurt, Jello (gelatine desserts).
• Same liquids plus one Protein shake per day.
I hope I'm that lucky. I've tried all the prevention meds but don't take any currently. My blood pressure runs about 110/65 so the bp meds always made me feel like I was passing out. I tried some of the antidepressant meds and would sleep for days. I took topamax for a long time but it makes you feel stupid.
I'm really scared about the pre-op diet. However, if losing the weight even makes the migraines less severe it will be worth it!!! I'm pretty sure phenergan and imitrex weren't mean for long term, very regular use. Lol.
I hope yours stay gone. That would be such a blessing for you!!!
I'm not having surgery until July. However, I have a question about migraines. Was anyone that has had the sleeve surgery a migraine sufferer? How did the pre-op and post-op dieting affect your migraines? My migraines are fairly severe and can lead to hours of vomiting and dehydration. I'm worried the drastic change in quantity/way of eating will cause migraines and I don't want to be throwing up from a migraine after surgery.
Thanks!
I took the application in for my passport today and they told me the pass card would be fine. It was much cheaper and she said the turn around time was 3-4 weeks right now.
