dehydration headaches are killer. FOr me, they are usually directly in the forehead or top of my head. MAke sure you are getting your fluids in!

You can take tylenol, it may help. But the best thing to do is to consult with your doctor if it persists.

Low sugar/carbs can also cause it.

I think you are about a week out?? Or so? The first week or so my whole throat felt pretty raw and it felt like everything was clunk clunking down until it finally hit a painful bottom.. It does get better I'm time though.

Most doctors will say to take about a half hour to eat the 1/4 cup of food.chew slow and a lot also take a minute or two between bites.

You might be drinking to fast.. You can also play with the temperatures of the water...

I think it's probably reflux. I too have been feeling that way. I think my headaches are a cross between clenching my jaw and detoxing off sugar, caffeine, carbs etc. try some baby Tylenol. But definitely try to drink some more Water.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
