Ok...I really need some help here! Has anyone else had headaches daily after surgery? Mine did not start until I was about 2 weeks out, but, since then, I do not remember a day without a headache! The bad part is that childrens tylenol does NOTHING! I have tried 2 different kinds of liquid and the meltaways. I have resorted to my lortab pills...I cut in half and that barely touches it for a while and then it comes back. I was thinking I may have been dehydrated but. I do not think I have any other symptoms of dehydration? PLEASE, anyone, please give me your thoughts. Thanks so much!

Might touch base with your surgeon or POP on what pain meds you can take. That does not sound normal. Sorry you are having the trouble.

 HI I have had headaches and still have very bad headaches. People have told me that it could be from a lack of protein, If you have High blood pressure I would check to see and make sure your blood pressure isn't a little high. But for me because just like you nothing touches my headaches what I do is get a spray bottle fill it with cold water and mist my head or get a cold towel and soak my head in cool water that seems to help me but I still almost on a daily basis have headaches. Hope this gives you some little help

GOD BLESS

I would definitely check your blood pressure.  Where are the headaches?  If they are in the front of your forehead, that can be a sign of high blood pressure.  I would def. check in with your doctor, you don't want to mess around with things like this.  Also could be a sign of dehydration.

thanks for the responses! The headaches are in the back....they are not up front. I am trying my best to make sure I am getting all my protein and liquids. I average around 45 oz daily of liquids right now. Anytime I eat something, it is meat of some sort. I do not eat other things because I know I need my protein,

So....if I am getting dehydrated, can I pick up on my liquids and be ok?? If it was dehydration, wouldn't there be other signs??

We were sleeved the same day and I have also had the headaches.  More like a dull constant headache.   Almost like a pre-mentstral headache for me but EVERYDAY.   I also thought it might be the start of dehydration so upped the fluid intake and bingo....no more headaches.   Give it a try...could work for you too.   Good luck !
