It's normal to experience headaches as your body enters ketosis. It will go away, but you will likely continue to feel sluggish through the whole pre-op diet.

Usually by day 3 or 4 the side effects should be clearing up. Give it a couple of days and you should be feeling more normal.

I'm on day 5 and I am feeling more energetic than I have in years. Day 1 and day 2 were awful... sluggish and headaches. I've been on 3 shakes a day nothing else except diet drinks, sugar free Jello and fat free low sodium broth. I tested myself and I have entered Ketosis.

Thanks for the info.

Make sure to get enough fluids too - headaches can be from dehydration as well. Hope you feel better soon!
