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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
