Light-headed

How long does it take for the light-headedness to go away? I do know I am not getting all of the protein I need because I am getting sick on the protein drinks, but I don't stop trying. This may be one of the reasons, but is there anything else I can do?

I think everyone is different, but when I was on liquids for my two week preop diet, it took about 4 or 5 days to acclimate. Good luck!

Keeping your protein every 3-4 hours is key. Try to do as much as you can, good l uck.

And check your blood pressure. It could be getting a little low? Even if you don't think that is the case, just go to WalMart and check it. Mine was 70/50 two weeks after starting the liquid diet and I had to drop off all the bp medication. I was really dizzy. Good luck!

Thanks so much. I should have checked my blood pressure long before this. Thanks so much for the info. It reminded me that I should check it often the next few days. Mine wasn't low. It was 157 over 79. So, it is a little high. I have been worried about the protein and not getting the proper amount; however, I read a recipie on here and I love it and drank it for dinner this evening. I take no sugar Carnation Instant, add half a frozen banana (mine wasn't frozen, I just added 1/4 banana) and added some ice. Put it all in the blender and it was so good. I almost cried from happiness that I found something that no only stayed down, but tasted good too.
