Have you talked with your surgeon's office about your headaches? Did you kick the caffeine habit prior to surgery? If not it could be withdrawal. Other than that I don't know what it could be so you should talk with your doctor.

@@kmorri thanks I meant to say pre op I'm on the liver diet and no I am just letting go of my caffeine, I was a heavy user of it.

@@ChrisInc2 - I know, the worst headaches I ever had was when I quit caffeine suddenly. It takes one to two weeks to taper off without pain http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-9165/how-to-quit-caffeine-in-one-week-painlessly.html Please restart, no need to suffer

@@ChrisInc2 Yes then caffeine withdrawal is the issue.....Here's how I did it...... during the first week I first mixed half regular coffee with half decaf.....each day during that week adding more decaf.....by the second week I was total decaf and no headache.....Good luck!

@@kmorri thanks I'm a have to try that. I can't function.

Ugh yes they were awful! I had to take Tylenol a few times. That diet on top of no caffeine even though I had been limiting coffee a lot was just ugh. Not fun. Ask your team about Tylenol I was surprised at how fast it helped when had a couple of really bad headaches.
