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

@@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!

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
