Question about protein diet

I was just wondering if when you started drinking the protein drinks did it make you nervous feeling, weak, nauseous, dizzy. Any or all of the symptoms?  I don't know if it is just cutting way down on my food intake or a new bp medicine the doc put me on. I quit taking the bp medicine because my doc didn't give it to me for my bp, he said it would protect my kidneys. My pcp says I am prediabetic. I am on another bp med anyway so the pharmacist said it wouldn't hurt to stop taking it until I can find out if that is what is making me sick.  I am not taking the vicodin because it makes me real dizzy..so whats a body to do. Anyway did anyone have any symptoms for the protein drinks and the food reduction and if so does it go away. It has been going on for about 4 days now..On a better note I have lost about 9 lbs in the last 3 wks.

Beverly, I cant use the protein drinks they make me sick, but it could be your meds.  I dont get dizzy but I get sick at my stomach..hope this gets better with you....Vesta

Ohhh congrats on your weight loss...Vesta

beverly,   i started my diet 3 weeks ago and i have a protein shake for breakfast and lunch then for supper i have a sensible meal and for snacks its fruit or popcorn but havent even had snacks lately, but i have never felt better. so maybe its from ur medicine...i  have lost  12 lbs and feel GREAT! so keep it up and maybe check on ur meds. love

Bev I did feel weak and nervous after a day or two on the protein. I didn't care for it and still have problems getting in my protein. Did you just stop caffiene or anything that could be causing you to have these feelings?? I also experienced headaches. Keep in close contact with your doctor. Sorry I couldn't be of more help Hugs

I don't know if this could be it are not but, when I cut down on my food and started the protein my blood sugar dropped and that made me shaking and jittery. Just a thought, maybe you could do a finger stick next time you feel that way and see what your blood sugar is. Brenda

Thank you all for replying. I am thinking it is the bp med the doc put me on. I am feeling better today after not being on the med for 3 days. Not so weak feeling, my headache is gone. I don't drink caffeine at all, due to panic attacks. I tested my sugar and it wasn't to low or to high. Guess I will just have to wait until I go to see my doc. He gets aggravated if I don't take the meds he gives me but I am not going to take something that makes me sick..
