Skane10: one of the side effects of a low carb diet is HA. How much Water do you get in? Is it at least 64oz? If not then it can be contributed to dehydration. I hope this is helpful. Before surgery I would get massive Migraines that were debilitating. Since surgery I have not had any migraines and am very very thankful. But I do get a slight HA when I don't get enough water in me. :)

Dorrie I think I was dehydrated in the hospital believe it or not. My head felt like it was going to split wide open. I noticed my IV bag had the same amount of Fluid all day. Change of shift nurse came in and I pointed that out. She checked and my IV was clamped. I hadn't received any fluid for about 8 hours and nothing to drink because I wasn't on ice chips yet. She opened my IV wide and I got a full bag rather quickly and started eating some ice chips then Gatorade. The headache lessened.

I wasn't able to drink much of anything the 1st few days after surgery. The was excessive but if you walk and try to sip warm brothe, tea or Water it get better. I still don't have much of an appetite on my full liquids but I am able to drink more. I get better with time but you have to walk.

I have to say it is weird having a 1/4 of a popsicle and being full. I feel gassy and keep walking but nothing passing today. Maybe if I lie in bed and put my knees up, that helped before. Last night I had a dream that I had a couple of bites of a hamburger and was full. Weird huh?

That is so frustrating to have an IV bag clamped. Didn't the other nurses check it before? I'm glad that you finally pointed it out to the nurse. You did a great job being an advocate for yourself. I know if I was you I'd want a lot of pain meds to help with a horrible HA. :) Hang in there and hope your home soon. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
