No but I haven't heard of one going on in my area. But a possibility!

Could you possibly diabetic or pre-diabetic?

When I got off of carbs on the Atkins diet, I experienced much of the same symptoms as you (headache and vomitting). I did a LOT of sleeping over that weekend! I was also a bit dizzy.

I also agree that it could be the shake.

Is there anyway you could have your blood sugar checked at the local pharmacy when having one of these episodes?

I have type 2 diabetes and I'm on the pimp, I've pretty much cut carbs since I started my surgery journey. I'm trying no shakes today but following the diet otherwise w a little more protein snacks and meat (not too much) and I'll try the shakes again tomorrow to see if there is a difference. I have lost 7lbs so I guess I'm doing ok lol!

I think it may be your diabetes. Please remind your surgeon and nut about this!

Please carefully monitor your blood sugar!

Worried...

Thank you :) I check my sugars regularly b/c I am on the pump no matter what, they have been normal so that is good.  I have an appt. this Thurs so I will chat w/ my ARNP then about everything.
