I went walking yesterday and did a mile and a half just fine. Well my hubby decided we were goin to take the long way home which was about another 3/4 of a mile. I knew I was not ready but did it anyways. I got about 1/2 a mile and started getting really dizzy. I stopped and tried to calm down. Once the dizziness subsided I got this horrible headache. I made it home and immediately sat on the couch to cool off.

Well, I still have the headache. It's worse at sometimes that at others. At certain times it hurts so bad I'm almost in tears. It's this intense pressed in the back of my head and then sudden sharp pains in my temple areas. I've tried Tylenol and it has not helped. Does anyone have any advise? I have not done anything at all today because it is hurting so bad. Worse part is my husband is just brushing it off as a typical headache, but this is far from typical. This hurts worse than any headache iv ever had.

I know this is an obvious question, but I have to ask. Are you drinking enough fluids?

I try to. I go thru 5-6 bottles of Water a day plus whatever other fluids I take in. Not much for actually drinking anything but Water. And I felt fine until yesterday. We walk a mile to a mile and a half everyday as well.

:( sorry my guess was dehydration... I would call the doctor in the morning if I where you.

I know I get Migraines sometimes and Tylenol does nothing to help!

I emailed my doctor last night and he basically said I don't know what it is, call your PCP. Well, ok fine. Lol. Problem is we just moved and I don have a PCP in my area yet. I guess if it's still this bad tomorrow I will swing into urgent care. Thanks for your suggestion.

Two Excedrin Migraine chased with a flat Mountain Dew... Or strong tea. The caffeine with the pills will help. Then, sleep.< /p>

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
