Two Week Pre-Op Liquid Diet

Day 4 has come to an end of my 2 week pre-op diet, and it feels like time is standing still. I've been very strict and have only been drinking low-sodium organic chicken broth, low-sodium tomato soup, light n fit yogurt 6oz (1 per day), sf popsicles, sf jello, and Carnation Instant Breakfast made with Simply Smart skim milk. One day I actually drank all 3 CIBs as my "meals" but every other day I've only managed to have 2, today I only drank 1. My problem is that I'm so darn exhausted that I'm sleeping a ton. For instance, I slept for nearly 11 hours last night and then fell asleep for another 2 later in the day today. I've had a headache I just can't shake either. My Dr told me to lay off NSAIDs so I've been taking tylenol, which doesn't seem to help me at all. Has anyone else ever had this problem with the headaches? Also has anyone else felt completely exhausted and slept a lot more during the liquid diet? I'm open to any kind of advice anyone may have. 11 more days till surgery! (Lapband)
