Queasy during induction?

[disneyeveryyear]

I am on day 3 of induction (so far so good).

I have not had any headaches (was already caffeine free), not any grumpier than usual (lol), but seem to be constantly queasy. Not overly bothersome, not really afraid I'll be sick, but just a "little off" in the tummy department.

I have lost 3.5 lbs. in the first two days (know most of it is water, but hey I'll take anything I can get).

Has anyone else suffered this? If so, how long does it last.

And no, it hasn't kept me from eating.

Lots of people have all kinds of symptoms...from flu like to headaches, and nausea. If it is not to bad, I would continue doing exactly what you are doing. DO not forget to drink tons of water, atleast 64 ounces a day.

Good luck, and congrats on starting the diet.

I spent alot of time that first week on the sofa! Feeling flu like - upset stomach, headache, the works! Its worth it though --- so stick with it!

I was very queasy for the first 1 1/2 weeks. I think it was sugar withdrawal. Your lucky you don't have everything else that goes along with it!
Good Luck and Congratulations on your fast 3 1/2 loss already

Thanks for the quick responses.

I am very dedicated this time. Haven't felt this dedicated since I did WW 8 years ago and lost 65 lbs (old plan, new one just doesn't do it for me).

However, when I got pregant, they made me quit, and now I weight 25 lbs. more than when that baby was born . I am (was 2 days ago) at a new all time high and am so ready to get this weight off.

Dr. agreed that Atkins would be a good plan to try since I had no motivation with WW anymore.

Glad I found you all and am dedicated to making a go of it.

Maybe with underlying nausea I won't eat as much .

Hey, we started induction on the same day! Today is day 3 for me also. I was queasy for about 10 minutes on day 2. Like you, I haven't had any other side effects!

I have lost 2 pounds in 2 days. Pretty good so far!! Tonight I get to eat chicken wings!

Tonight I am having marinated salmon steaks from Market Day (wonderful) and salad and vegetable. It's like a real dinner.

Good luck and we'll try to keep track of each other.

This is day 4 for me, and I have also been feeling queasy. Yesterday was the worst day for me. Other than that, I am doing ok. DH and I started together, and we both went to the grocery store tonight. I've never seen so much meat in my house, ever!

I was a little queasy, too, and had a day where I had flu-like symptoms. It gets better, though, so stick with it!

Good luck and congratulations on the 3.5 pound loss!

When I first started Atkins, the fourth day into Induction I was really sick and had a horrible headache, but it goes away! I was fine the next day!!

Don't give up, it goes away!!
