feeling sick and weak? 3rd day of shake diet

i am only on my third day of this liquid twice a day diet. i am supposed to have a protien shake with 30-40 g of protien and less than 15 g carbs for Breakfast and lunch. then for dinner a small portion of lean meat and veg. so i have been styicking to it , this is the end of my third day. Ihave lost 6 lbs since 3 days ago and i only have 6 more lbs to lose till im at my surgery requirement, so as soon as I (hopefully) get my approval, i can get a date. trouble is i feel very sick. Nausiouse, weak, dizzy headache, and when i do eat i feel like vomiting. Did (or is) anyone go through this? i just feel so drained. i do have other health problems, lupus, pcos, fibromyalgia, and the list goes on, but i just don't feel right. feeling down too, I just don't know what to do to feel better....any suggestions?

p.s. sorry i am a very bad speller and the typo queen of the world

Your body is going through a shock right now. Don't give up, it will get better. Drink the shakes slowly. Sometimes the drinks will make you nauseaus, and it takes a little while to find one that you can tolerate. It's all worth it in the long run.

You can do it. Today was difficult for me. I kept telling my daughter I'm hack g cravings for pizza and had to ride it out. It went Away thankfully. Now one more weekend day before surgery and I plan on keeping busy tomorrow, so cravings won't bother me as they did today
