catwoman7 11,220 Posted June 28, 2016 I haven't, but I've heard that complaint from other people. It must be a response to the carb de-toxing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elvenprincess 26 Posted June 29, 2016 Every doctor and program is different...you may do something completely different but this is my intake: 4 Boost shakes a day 1 cup broth from bouillon 64 oz minimum of Water or other zero calorie non carbonated drinks a day Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shrinkinqtpi 202 Posted June 29, 2016 @@Elvenprincess This is what my surgeon's office will have me on as well. They also suggested the premixed Protein Drinks on this website as a once a day alternative besides broth. They said the water/calorie-free minimum was 64 oz and to aim closer to 120 oz. This is quite a detox and a headache makes sense! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kmlynne 1 Posted June 29, 2016 The headache is most likely from the carbs (or lack there of). Whenever I have gone on low carb diets, it has happened to me. Just continue to stay hydrated, and maybe try some tylenol if you are allowed to have it. It will eventually go away. Sometimes it just takes a while. Good luck to you!

Danna78 7 Posted July 1, 2016 I'm on day six of 21 and had really bad headaches for the first 3 days. Now I find I get more of a brain fog toward the end of the day... Moreso when I've exerted myself in the heat. I am on 4 shakes a day (optifast) and broth if needed and Water... Always Water. Hope your headache eases soon!

jgator 4 Posted July 2, 2016 I have gotten headaches almost every afternoon. I have just tried to drink Water because I feel it help wash out whatever is making my head angry. Broke down once and took Tylenol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
