I woke up today (day 3) with a headache. I took 1 tablespoon of adult liquid Tylenol and slowly sipped about 4 oz of Water. I feel quite a bit better.

Story of my life! I was sleeved 11/26 as well. I find that Water and/or Protein helps. I haven't been able to figure out what it's from though.

Me too, I think I am not drinking enough since headaches are a sign of dehydration. Just need to keep sipping i suppose

It is probably mild dehydration. Make sure you are sipping Water all day long. I found that smart water and Vitamin water zero really helped. I found warm/room temperature helped too.

Also keep track of your thyroid. I was getting migains at 6 months out and found that my thyroid meds were too high.

Don't be afraid to take some liquid Tylenol or fast melts. Your body is healing.

Good Luck

I knew I wasn't getting enough water... Dunno why I didn't associate that with my headaches

For me, it seems like headaches are due to my new food intake, I now eat very little carbs (3 1/2 weeks post-op). Caffeine helps, as long as you are not dehydrated. Also sugar helps me, have had some Coke (after shaking it to make it flat) that helps me tremendously. I am hoping that as my body adjusts to my new eating habits the headaches will subside.

Best of luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
