Migranes

Migrane medicine, what can we have? I am about 2 months post-op RNY and havent had any problems with headaches or migranes until lately. And I can't remember what kind of medicines are no-nos and what kinds are ok to deal w/my migranes. Help please!

i would go with tylenol 8 hour pain relief!  i know that my surgeon said tylenol is allowed after surgey and the 8 hour pain relief really does help! it may make you a little sleepy though but it really makes the pain subside! feel better, i know how much headaches suck!

I am not sure about meds, mostly I stick with tylenol and occasionally advil for migraines taken with something in my stomach and a zantac (advil is on the no-no list because of ulcer risk, but I have been okay'ed to take it if I take it with food and with zantac).  I wouldn't risk NSAIDS yet at 2 months out.  This is a definate "call your surgeon" question.  Maybe he/she will have some suggestions for you. A thought - I get headaches when I am dehydrated, and as I remember being 2 months out I was dehydrated A LOT.  So, you may just be able to help your headaches by pushing clear liquids for a while. I hope you can find something that works! 

Thanks for all the advice. I took some tylenol last night and it worked. But this is a recurring problem and Im afraid it's because Im not gettin enough protein. So now Im off to find a way to get in more protein.
