limaim26 3 Posted June 7, 2018 I just started the shakes diet on Tuesday. I've been having these terrible headaches and I feel really weak. Is this normal?Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
browneyez42 280 Posted June 7, 2018 Sounds normal to me...it could be that you're going through withdrawals from certain foods, sugar, etc. Make sure you stay hydrated.

Matt Z 4,139 Posted June 7, 2018 Withdrawals and dehydration... up your Water intake and see if that helps. It takes water to flush out your system, so drink up! 1 limaim26 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moondoggie1983 202 Posted June 7, 2018 Yes! I did the Optifast as well. It sucks for the first 3-5 days. Don’t cheat or it’ll be worse. If you’re on any meds for high blood sugar, check your bg levels all the time. I ended up stopping mine after 4 days cause I was bottoming out. Once I started drinking about 96oz of Water a day, I felt better as well. 2 limaim26 and Pearldrop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
