Feeling very ill after first day

[Andy72]

Yesterday was my first day of Cohens, and I did okay, feeling a bit hungry at times. By the end of the day at about 6.30pm I really started to feel badly nauseated, to the point I was sitting there with a bucket, and I ended up going to bed at 8.00, and I never go to bed early. The 2 weeks before starting I was on holiday, and I ate everything in sight, I mean I really pigged out every day, all the bad foods you can imagine. So I guess I am paying for it now with my body going through drastic detox, I really didn't think I would feel sick, I knew about the headaches which I also have. Anyway I will keep going, have no energy today just feel like sitting and watching tv.
Is this nausea normal, and when will it pass, and I am drinking just on 3 litres, should I drink more during this stage. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Andrea

Hi Andrea

Welcome to Cohens! Great choice you've made.

Different bodies detox in different ways - seems like yours is choosing it's own way. Just hang in there. You don't say how much you have to loose but at this point your water intake seems fine. It's a balance between too little, which means your body will produce cretanine and will show on your blood tests and drinking too much which can leach minerals from your system. 3 ltrs is good place to begin.

Wny don't you start a diary in the new diary section and at the same time apply for diary approval. Read this thread for how it works:

If you want this to be the beginning of your diary just let me know and I will move for you. Setting up your diary gives all your posts a home and also gives people a place to post support and encouragement for you.

Enjoy the Cohen's journey to health.

Hi Andy,

You poor thing. I feel your pain. By the end of my first day I had a migraine. That lasted 5 days along with the nausea and vomitting that goes along with my migraines. Hopefully yours won't last as long. It will pass. Believe me it will. By the end of the week you will feel so much better.

Hey Andy..
I know how you feel I was doing the same things at 2 am in the morning but it lasted for me for about 1 week.. Now 5 weeks down the track I am where I am and feeling great. Stick with it buddy if I can do it then anyone can. It is soo worth it in the end as you can read from so many people who have had success. I have been victimised all my life as you all know as I have been over 150 kgs for a bloody long time and for this to work for me it must be amazing. You can do this!! Love the water Andy I did and now cant live without it..
Cheers Hopefull

Hang in there Andy72. It's normal. I'm starting my detox tomorrow and not looking forward to it. But the good news is that it is temporary.... Looking forward to reading about your journey....

Hi Andrea
Im just hitting my 4th week and the first 5 days was absolute hell. i like you absolutly pigged out the week before i started, getting my last taste of all that fatty food and my body went through like major withdrawals. It was actually a big eye opener for me to see what i have over the years done to my body. i ended up taking three days off work and just layed on the couch, it was just a really yuk feeling.

You will get through it though!!!

Good luck!!
