Hi everyone,
I am starting day 3 and have been having problems with feeling weak, dizzy, and hungry. I have followed the program to the letter and added an extra packet mid-afternoon (for a total of 4/day as suggested by my coach). I am also kinda nauseated right after I eat the cream of chicken soup, which is disappointing because I really like the taste. I tried eating a few baby dill pickles in between meals or after eating the soup, and this seems to help some. I am also drinking extra water(80-90+ oz/day) and decaf tea in between meals.
I know from reading the newbie, FAQ, and other threads that many people don't feel well the first few days but I could not find any specific suggestions about what to do about it, other than what I've tried (extra water, extra packet). I even tried searching the forum but all it gave me were 3 threads with hundreds of posts to sift through in each.
I called my coach yesterday but I got her voice mail. She hasn't called me back yet, so I am a bit put out with her and feeling kinda abandoned. She doesn't have a regular office schedule and no other staff since she rents an office within a physical therapy clinic. Anyone else having issues with their coach?
Any suggestions or feedback would really be helpful. I don't want to give up because I really think this program will work for me if I can just get through these first few hard days.
Thanks!
Karen
