Starting to get headaches again



Recommended Posts

Well I had my surgery on 7/3, came home on 7/5 and been doing great today out of know where I got a headache which won't go away, I've been getting all my Protein and Fluid in I really don't know what this is about. Have any one experience a headache out of know where, did it go away or what did you do to get rid of it?

I just did a search for headaches and saw this. I suffered from Migraines before surgery. I am just a little over 3 months out. After surgery, I did not have any migraines at all until this week. I have had one every afternoon this week. It is really cramping my style!!!! :angry: Anyway, my husband suggested I check here to see if anyone else had a problem like this. I thought it might be allergies, but I take antihistamines everyday for chronic eczema, so I can't figure out why that could be it. I also have been on point, or slightly behind, on Water intake. I have not exercised for the last three days due to the headaches. I don't drink caffeine. I quit after surgery and had no headaches. I average between 500 & 600 calories a day. No sugar.

Has anyone had this issue? Any ideas? I am afraid I am doing something wrong to cause this. Any help would be appreciated. :)

I used to get Migraines. I was on daily meds to prevent them. (I'd still get a doozy when Flo showed up.) But I've been off it since surgery.

I do get some headaches. Usually ibuprofen takes them down. I have taken a pain pill twice hoping it would be gone in the morning, and that worked.

I prefer this approach over being on topiramate.

I do drink Decaf coffee & tea and sometimes have Chike coffee Protein powder. So I do get some caffeine, but very little.

I barely get 64oz of my Water in. Some days it 6 cups and not 8. So I've wondered if I need more when this happens.

Since the dr used to think my migraines were hormonal, I'm guessing that the hormones we are dumping could also be causing them.

      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.

      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!!
