So, my doctor, Dr Snow in Hurst, Tx, put me on a 5 day diet before my surgery on Friday. Today is day 3 and I have the WORST headache! I can't get rid of it. . . I even tried a Starbucks singles packet (with a scoop of vanilla Unjury protein powder, of course) this morning! My pre-op instructions say to avoid aspirin or anything that will thin my blood this week! Any suggestions? I'm dying here. . .all I want to do is close my curtains and lay in my bed ALL DAY; but I have things to get in order (family meals, last minute house work, etc.) before the big day!

its completely normal. I had a headache from hell until day 4 of my 2 week preop diet. Call your Dr and see what you can take. I was allowed tylenol.

I ended up having to take benedryl. It is more for sinus headaches but also seems to work for the caffeine crash/sugar crash headaches. Once your body is detoxed the headaches will subside and you will feel great!

Omg, I had a headache for 4 days. It's gets better. The first two days I stay in bed.
