I've just started my 2 week liquid diet before my VSG surgery and I'm feeling nauseous. Why is this happening??

Are you using a certain product or are you able to choose.  I felt that way as we had to have 5 shakes a day with milk.  I had such a large amount of milk it was making me sick and I switched to Almond milk.  Also even the first time when I did an all liquid and only 3 shakes a day plus other diet liquid it made me nauseous, light headed and dizzy.  After day 3/4 it got better.

Good luck with your diet. Take care of your self

Thanks for your feedback today is day 4 and I'm feeling much better;) I'm using Muscle Milk because it doesn't have lactose. But I feel great drinking it today...

The nausea and feeling light headed is due to toxins being released from the body, you'll feel it the worse by day 3 and after that it begins to subside.   I actually experienced flu-like symptoms, drinking lots of water generally helps the detox process along and minimizes the symptoms.

Wow I started drinking water & G2 (Gatorade light) and it helped. I thought I was losing it the way I felt but if I would've had flu symptoms, I would've panicked. Thanks for the advice..

The first three days you will have a headache and that can make you nauseous. After that it gets better. You will lose more weight if you skip the milk and just use water. I used the GNC Total Lean 25 shakes and never mixed it with anything bu****er and I thought they were wonderful. Of course I love milkshakes and that is one of the myriad of reasons why I was so fat....haha
