  • Headache so soon?

    Hi Guys!

    This is my first day of Induction and I am quite prepared for the long haul. I am finding a bit of comfort in the fact that my body is reacting already to the change but I just wanted to check that this is okay.

    I would have normally have had 2 cups of strong black coffee and at least 2 cans of diet coke by now - but have drunk 2 litres of water. I never eat breakfast, but had ham and eggs this morning and have just had a lovely tuna salad for lunch (normally a huge sandwich and crisps from Pret).

    I have the headaches of all headaches - its thumping. I have read about the affects and honestly, feel prepared to "bring it on - do your worst" - but a headache this bad so quickly - is this okay?

    Would really appreciate any feedback. I really really want to do this!

    Be lucky all, Janie xo

    Probably caffeine withdrawal. Powerful stuff caffeine. Kudos to you for eliminating it. Take some Tylenol - ride it out.

      Thanks Liv! I haven't taken any painkillers. I am trying to ignore it but it is getting worse!!

      Its all my own doing - let food run my life - and you know what they say NO PAIN NO GAIN!

      Quite scary how just one day without makes me feel like this - what on earth was I doing to myself!!!!!

      Thanks for replying!

        First thing I thought was "caffeine withdrawl" as well - it won't last too long, I promise. Been through it myself - I used to drink a 6-pack of coke plus about 5 cups of coffee a day before I quit it cold turkey. Good luck with everything.
