IMHO, headache, light-headedness, feeling weak --- in all but rare instances are really our bodies way of detoxing from overeating and indulging. Our minds want to find an excuse -- any excuse -- to go back to eating the way that brought us to obesity in the first place. I compare it to withdrawal from alcohol, cigarettes or heroin. At 347 lbs, I wasn't going to starve or die from lack of solid food. In fact, i could have likely survived a winter in Alaska just on my stores.
I found that after the 3rd or 4th day -- I felt pretty darn good. I had more energy, the cravings lessened a bit and the physical symptoms waned.
Most of us have done the liquid pre-op phase and lived to tell.

Good luck with your surgery. My liquid diet was 2 wks and I did it twice since my first surgery was cancelled by me. By the way your puppy avatar is cute.
