Congratulations!!!! Welcome to the rest of your life!!!

I just had my sleeve done yesterday 11-16-2020 and I'm home already, surgery went very good and I feel amazing! I dropped 34 lbs before surgery and can't wait to see what this new lifestyle has to offer! I hope everyone had, or has the same great experience I did!

Congratulations! Glad you didn't have any complications or issues and that you're doing well.

I'm miserable when it comes to eating.. Or should I say drinking broth... I took it upon my self to start on pureed foods a week early or else I would've died of starvation. However I'm doing pretty good.. I've started walking up to a mile and a half everyday. I had surgery on Nov. 3, 2020. Before surgery my weight was 245 now I'm 225... I'm sure I lost some weight pre-op due to the 2 week liquid diet. Anyway the Journey continues.

I started my diet yesterday 11-2 and woke up this morning with severe head aches. How long do these last for? I'm scheduled for my surgery on the 16th and hope these don't last too long! What do you take to help? I stopped drinking about 2 months ago, at the same time i stopped smoking marijuana, cut coffee and pretty much any caffeine in hopes to stop this from happening. Not sure what else could be causing these

I was just talking to one of the guys I work with and he mentioned that as well, I didn't know there was such a thing! Thank you

Me too. I've learned a lot.

I agree. My first thought was "carb flu." Also, if you've cut out or cut down on your other vices, they could also give same/similar symptoms. While I don't have experience with it, caffeine "withdrawal" can come with a headache.
I had the "carb flu" about 2 or 3 days into my pre-op prep. I had a nagging headache, fatigue, even muscle soreness and a "brain fog." I think it lasted another 2 or 3 days, but once it passed I felt pretty good. "Clean" is the best way to put it.
Best of luck on your journey.

It may be just a coincidence, otherwise, assuming you have gone low carb or cut out pretty much all carbs it could be 'carb flu'. https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/side-effects
