Question about liquid diet

Today was the 3rd day of my liquid diet. I feel like crap! I'm not having problems sticking with the diet, but I think it might be making me sick. I was light headed all day today and have had a headache for the last 2 days. I tried to call my clinic today and of course they closed early so I didn't get to talk to anyone. I was worried that i'd pass out at work today. I took a glucose tablet  today. My manager practically shoved it in my mouth guess I looked bad I felt better after but  I don't know if thats going to mess with my diet... I have been following it 100% I have to!  If I don't feel better tomorrow i'm going to call my pcp and see if the urgent care nurses have any ideas for me. I'm just wondering if anyone else just felt crappy and if it lasts the whole time?

I haven't heard of anyone getting sick from the LD so maybe you are coming down with a bug.  Be sure you get lots of protein shakes and water in your diet as dehydration can make you feel like crap and it does not get better!!! Hope you feel better soon.....

I have never heard of this either. Are you diabetic?? Try switching to Boost Glucose Control....maybe you are just getting too much sugar. When I was diabetic that is how I felt. Good luck...let us know what you find out if you talk to the doctor. Hugs, connie d

I'm feeling a little better today.... I think I may have been a little dehydrated. I don't think I drank enough during the day yesterday. Packing all my water bottles today going to see if that helps. I had close to 50oz before 4 pm so thought I was ok with that...  As far as I know I'm not diabetic.... Everything on my liquid diet is low sugar. I'm gonna trying calling dr from work in a little while and see what they have to say... Thanks!

Melissa............dehydration shows up in the most odd forms.  When I've had lousy moments (not too many tho) I could trace it back to not enough water!

take care & gulp gulp gulp!!!
