Not feeling so good anymore

I have been on the liquid diet since last Monday and I was doing great. I felt awesome and had lost quite a bit of weight. Well, last night I mowed the back yard, did the weed eating and pulled weeds. When I came in I thought I was going to pass out. I drank a lot of water and had another shake since I thought it would help me "recover."

Well, all night I felt nauseaus and weak. I had a headache all night long and this morning it feels like just standing for a few minutes is exhausting. Is something wrong or is this just another side effect of the liquid diet? I've lost 17 pounds so far.

probably everything combined with this awful heat too, stay inside today and hydrate yourself, drink some broth it has some stuff in it and your shakes and lots and lots of water. sounds like you almost had a heat stroke.....stay inside, do NOT go outside today.  

Thanks Jan. I was hoping you'd respond. I'll stay inside today and drink lots of water. I can't do broth though because my surgeon only allows protein shakes and water on the liquid diet. Thanks for your advice.

wow your doctor doesnt give you much to worry about as far as food is concerned huh? with no more than that your calorie intake is about nothing so really be careful in the heat and after you get to feeling ok this time take it easy out there doing small amounts at a time. ....this heat is a killer ,literally. 

Brandy, yesterday was a funky day for me also.  I was so tierd & weak.  I went outside to pick peppers but I didn't get that overheated.  There was a heat advisory out yesterday, so it was probably a combo of the extreme lo calories and the heat.  Like Jan said, stay inside & take it easy.  Hopefully you'll feel better soon.   (((HUGS))) Angy

I hope you are feeling better very soon!!!
HUGS!!!
