Im on day 3 of my 2 week liquid diet. I've been slowly doing protein shakes and replacing meals before this as I know how my system works and how I react to dramatic changes. I suffer from severe migraines and have since I was about 3. I've read a lot of the carbs and sugar cuts is what makes the headaches/migraines come about. My question is, outside of my prescribed mess, is there anything out there that could help keep everything mild? Everything I would normally do to help get rid of migraines is a big no no right now (caffeine, sugar, carbs, etc). Just wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and had any success in curving the head pain. Thanks

I took my migraine med (sumatriptan) during the liquid diet.

I've been taking that as well. It hasn't been working well :(

First few days is sugar / carbs detox. Major headaches for me every time, even now, when I get off eating too many carbs. 

If you toughen is out -you should see huge improvements in day 4-6. 

I get really constipated when doing low carbs and that triggers my migrane. Keeping the guts moving, complete BM every day minimizes my headaches... 

Sometimes I wake up with one, that is gone soon after I had a very good BM...

On day two I had a mind blowing migraine with all the fun sounds hurt, light hurt, smells hurt.  I took my typical migraine meds they kinda helped.  I staid home from work, thought I was dying, and laid in bed all day.  

Maybe it was a migraine brought on by no carbs, maybe it was just a no carb headache.  Whatever it was cleared into a typical headache on the 3rd day then went away.

Hey Chelsea!

Just wondering how your migraines have been post op? I'm in the pre-op diet stage and have had a couple but I'm hoping they've settled down. I'm a little worried about how they'll be in the hospital as stress, disrupted sleep, flourescent lights are all triggers for me
