2 Weeks Pre-Op & Headache... What Can I Take?!

[NJsharon 119]

My surgery is just under 2 weeks away. But I have a splitting headache right now!

I was told no aspirin, but is tylenol okay?! My head is killing me & I need something!

Yes Tylenol is fine , that's what I used to get me through my carb withdrawal the first few days of my preop diet :-)

[NJsharon 119]

That might be partly why I have a headache too! It is day 2 of my pre-op diet & having very very limited carbs!

Thanks so much, off to pop a tylenol now!

Oh boy...I go on tues to find out when to start my pre op diet....it will be one week or 2 depending on if I got my BMI down enough for the surgeons preference...I do not look forward to the pre op DETOX!!! LOL

I'm over 2 weeks post op, in the beginning of the pre op diet I had a headache and that was just my body adjusting to the liquid diet. For me by day 4 or 5 the headaches stopped.

After the second day I was fine the preop diet wasn't bad for me I lost 16lbs in those two weeks. Good luck !!

I only have to go off my anti-inflammatory meds, to include aspirin, motrin, and so forth one week before surgery. DId your surgeon tell you to go off of them so soon?
