Headache on liquid diet

[Elvenprincess 26]

I am on day 6 of 14 for my liquid diet. I have had a headache everyday...did anyone else experience that and did last through the entire pre op diet?

Thanks!!

I haven't, but I've heard that complaint from other people. It must be a response to the carb de-toxing...

Can you let me know what your intake is each day? I want to get an idea of what's to come....

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

@@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!

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!

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!

You get headaches because you are detoxing your body

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.

Every program is different,

My program is

3-4 Protein shakes a day 48-68oz of Water a day or more

2 solid lean Proteins (3oz chicken, 1 low fat yogurt, etc)

2 servings of vegs either (1 cup cooked or 2 cups raw is a serving)

Also and broth based Soups.

SO i guess i have it easier than some.
