Did anyone have severe headaches after their surgery? My husband is having some severe headaches after his surgery Tuesday. He has quite a few headaches (sinus) anyway. He thinks it may be related to lack of food (like a fasting headache.) He is on the clear liquid phase now this week. Anyone have anything similar?

I suffered headaches that first week, too. I think it was withdrawal from all the bad things we love so much - sugar and caffeine- and from such reduced calories. It did finally subside and I have not had one headache since then!

My surgery is scheduled for June 11th. I suffer from migraines and cannot risk coming off caf. to fast. We just bought a little 4 cup coffee pot for me this weekend and will start the half caff stuff in about a week. I'm sooooo glad I found this forum and learned about this way ahead of time!!

Strat, when you start the 1/2 caf make sure you get a "naturally" decaffenated coffee. It will say naturally on it. If it doesnt, it is decaffenated by chemical and the chemicals themselves can cause headaches. Many brands naturally decaf now.

I will be sure and watch for that. Thanks for the heads up! Since I have my own little coffee pot now, I may just keep on drinking the decaf afterwards unless we're somewhere that it's not offered. Why not, right? Thank you again!

Just in update, the headaches are gone after day 3. Yay!

Glad to hear it. Do you think it was caffeine?

No, that's why I was so worried. I don't like caffeinated drinks. It think it was just due to the pain medications I was on.
