Are my migraines gone??? For good????



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I’m currently 11 days post-op and feeling pretty good, although I can’t wait for puréed foods!! Lol

Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced what I’m going through. I was diagnosed with Migraines in High School and have had them ever since. I wasn’t always obese, was average in high school and in great health, sports,etc. So migraines were never attributed to weight. Even as I got older I had periods of time when I was an ok weight. All I was able to pinpoint was that if I got too overheated I would get a Migraine but really they would come anytime, especially during my period and a drop in barometric pressure.

Truthfully, one of the things I was mostly scared of during this whole process was being able to take my migraine medicine if I got one. I must have asked my primary care and any other doctor about this like a million times and even though they told me it would be fine to take (during pre-liquid diet,post-op,etc) I was waiting with anxiety. I got a few during my pre-op liquid stage and it was horrible.

So here I am, 11 days post-op, barely taking anything in because I’m on full liquids still and not very hungry......and no migraines!!!! I’m afraid to say it aloud for fear they’ll come back but I’m so surprised!!! I even started my period and nothing!!!

Has anyone experienced this? Could my migraines have gone away forever????!!!! If they did it would be the best thing ever let me know if anyone else has gone through this....does anyone know of a correlation between your stomach and migraines?? So curious. Thank you!!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
