I didn't get light headed until the bowel cleanse the night before.

Just make sure to drink enough.

The first 3 days were rough, after that it was a breeze.

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.
