Head aches any one?



Recommended Posts

the last few days I've gotten killer headaches.. i know it's most likely tied to the pre-op diet.. but i'm wondering will these continue on into the post - op one too? or can i expect relief as my body adjusts?

My headaches are dehydration as well. Could you possibly be having caffeine withdrawals? Those can be rough also.

For me, coming off caffeine causes killer headaches. I call them "loose brain" headaches because it feels as though my brain has broken loose and is sloshing in my head. They last about 3 days and the withdrawls are over. Hope you feel better soon.

I get headaches when I dehydrate, go off caffeine, or believe it or not, actually from caffeine. Sometimes it's hard to find what external factors trigger your headaches if there are any to find.

And then there are the Migraines I get from out of nowhere, the sinus headaches, and the beer triggered headaches. (I am maintaining, so I allow myself beer). I'd get less headaches if I didn't tho. :rolleyes:

Most likely it's a mixture of all of the above apart from the beer... :( i switched shakes also to one with an even lower carb well actually Zero carbs so i'm sure my body was in total shock.. and living in AZ it's very hard to stay hydrated. though if i where to give up my coffee... i'm not sure i'd be safe to be around it's my only indulgence and even that i changed to be as healthy as possible drinking only organic coffee with silk milk and organic stevia..

I get headaches after I drink alcohol from the dehydration. When drinking it's a good idea to follow the old 1-1 rule of one glass of Water for every alcholic drink you consume. I was getting headaches every single day in the back of my neck and it turned out that the caffeine in the coffee i was drinking was the culprit. I switched to Decaf and never had problems again. If you're getting headaches in the back of your head they may be caused from constricting blood vessels.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
