I am 4 and a half weeks post op. (sleeved May 22) I have trouble with back pain and headaches from allergies. I've tried taking Tylenol and Ibuprofin (both ok'd by the doc) but both of them give me horrible diarrhea (sorry TMI). I've been using my pain pills in the meantime, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what might help?

Thanks so much!

You really need to discuss that with your doctor. Hope you get feeling better.

Are you drinking enough water? If you are, maybe you have to increase it even more. You might have kidney stones if you haven't been drinking enough water. The increased amount of protein you are eating means you have to have an increased amount of water to flush the excess minerals out of your body instead of settling in your kidneys. In my opinion, if you are having to take prescribed pain killers for a headache, you need to see your doctor. Again, that is just my opinion.
