It sucks, I did drink a lot of caffeine and cut it all out day 1 of the liquid diet. Your body is probably craving carbs and sugar. Not much to do, gotta just push through the pain. Keep telling yourself just a few more days.

    Yeah, it's sugar withdrawal. It sucks. Day 4 should be better.

    Yes, it went away day 3 and my cravings for breads and potatoes were gone. To me it felt like a carb detox. I'm day 8 and I don't have any problem with headaches now.

    I'm 3 days in to the pre-op diet and my headaches are fading. I'm starting to feel less crabby and more energetic now, but the first couple days were pretty tough. Fortunately, I can still take Advil for another week!

    Started my two week Proteins liquid only diet two days ago, and my head has not stopped hurting!! I don't drink caffeine so that's not the problem, anybody else have this issue? And why to do

    I am three days in today of the Protein liquid diet. I am extremely exhausted and headaches. I have absolutely no energy. I was told i should feel better by the fifth day. I feel horrible!! The past two nights I've been up reading because i couldn't sleep. I don't know why that is.

    I had the same thing. I think it's probably related to carb/sugar withdrawals. You'll get through it, it will pass :)

    Not if their doctor told them not to.
