I feel aweful

renewedhope · October 13, 2007

I started my liquid diet on Wednesday. I have felt ok until today. I am on myoplex shakes and they keep me full. I woke up this morning feeling aweful. My head is stopped up, I have a headache. I just feel kinda flu like. Is this coincidence, or does it go with the whole liquid diet thing. I remember feeling kinda like this a few days after beginning the Atkins diet. Any suggestions??????

You may be experiencing ketosis-Which is common at the beginning of any low carb diet. For me the worst is the headache. It does pass.

Thanks. I think you are right. I feel much better. I have more energy and am really not hungry. It's very wierd. I just realized that I have not had a shake (nothing but water) since noon yesterday. that's 24 hours. I know that is not a good thing, but it's wild how quickly I have gone from feeling aweful, with no energy to feeling pretty good and having to remind myself to drink my shakes. My surgery is the 24th and I am soooooo ready. Thanks again.
