I'm on day 3 of liquid diet and I have had a terrible headache by noon everyday and I'm so sleepy by then. Have y'all had that experience??

Yup, you are dehydrated. You need to make sure you are getting tons of fluids or your head will hurt and you will become more lethargic.

Now, I will say that by day 8 my brain was just not working as well as it should be. By then I was tired of Protein shakes and living on chicken broth. I found that I was so tired of the taste of the Protein Shakes that instead of drinking 4 to 5 a day, I was only drinking 2 and then lots of chicken broth.< /p>

I think that was why my brain was not as sharp.
