Migranes

Hello everyone, I am currently in day 4 of my 10 Day pre-op liquid that consists of just 4 protein shakes, 2 cups of non starchy veggies, and jello and broth per day.

My surgery is on December 20th.

My question is for those who have/do suffer from migraines. I used to get 2 or 3 migraines a week. Sometimes so bad that I could not do anything but stay in my bedroom in complete darkness. I have since gotten control of them though medications and daith piercings. However since I started on my pre-op diet I have had a migraine the first 3 days and a headache today. Has anyone else had this happen? If so what did you do to help get control of them again. and do they start going away as I go back to foods after the surgery?

I have had frequent migraines though the prep and immediate post op phase. Not sure if its the diet change, the weather. I take relpax and botox injections in my head, I can't imagine how bad it would be if I didn't have those

I am 3 months pre-op so I don't have personal experience, but in trying to prepare myself for this life-changing event, I look at this site daily. I read from some of the folks that this could be a side effect of detoxing from carbs. And that after a few days it lessens. Here's hoping it gets better for you!

I am on Day 5 now and it has subsided a little bit. Hopefully that will be the end of them lol. It makes sense that it would be from the drastic diet change. I have gone from 1400 Calories to 600, and 175 Carbs to 36. It'll be worth it when I get skinny again.
