Hello everyone!
I have been reading all your posts for the last three weeks, since I started CD and have finally registered!
I have lost 10lbs in two weeks and have my third WI tomorrow. Things are going well, not hungry at all which is great.
With today off I decided it might be a good idea to do a little exercise. So I had my morning shake, let it settle for a couple of hours and then went swimming.
I only did breast stroke, but got to 20 lengths and decided to do another 10. I have really missed exercising over the last few weeks and was pleasently surprized that I had the energy to keep going. I then stupidly went into the sauna for a few minutes, still feeling fine at this point.
All done I went for a shower, by the time I had put the shampoo in my hair I was too weak to hold myself up. I felt so sick, weak and began to have blurred vision. I called out "can someone help me please", the second time I shouted, someone came along.
It is all a bit of a blur from here, I had someone holding me up (with just a towel to the front of me), sat me on a stool and then there were three women trying to help me.
They gave me a sugary sports drink which I did think twice about drinking, but I felt so bad and couldn't even see, I had to take a few sips.
It worked amazingly fast and I could see again almost immediately. My energy slowly came back and I was able to wash my hair and get dressed.
I had to call home to get a lift home.
They told me the VLCD and dehydration were the problem, I guess I did push myself a little too hard for the first work out in some time.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
I wouldn't recommed it, if anyone else is thinking about starting a little execise while on SS I strongly advise taking it very slowly, and drinking lots of water before and during.
Good luck to everyone, reading all your messages on here has really helped me get this far.
