Thank you so much for helping ZheZhe and Archus, in my original post, I stated I ate too much
Watermelon too fast on day 2. It's day 7 of refeeding, and my body cannot tolerate any food without feeling this feeling of blood
Sugar sickness. I could sure use help.
On Day 3 of refeeding: Body is saying NO to food in general. In retrospect, I should have listened to this but there was a sense of pressure I felt to force myself to eat. I ate a very conservative amount of
Watermelon to see if it would get better, about 3 cubes per meal spread 2-3 hours apart. Still made me feel awful. My blood
Sugar just feels off. Feel anxious and jittery and my heart races. Not as bad however as Day 2 when I over-ate watermelon.
On Day 4 of refeeding: Again, body is not hungry, but still forcing myself to eat. I ate a VERY tiny amount of
Watermelon and still made me feel blood
Sugar sickness. Feel a LITTLE better than Day 2 though.
On Day 5 of refeeding: AGAIN, body is not hungry, but still feeling like I need to eat. Decided enough is enough with the watermelon. Switched to a cooked vegetable broth with small amount of carrot and cabbage. Had 2 small meal servings of this in my entire day. My body reacts better to this than watermelon, but I still feel that blood sugar anxious jittery feeling (although less than when I ate watermelon). Feel a LITTLE better than Day 3, but the fact that my blood sugar feels like this is concerning.
On Day 6 of refeeding: Body still giving me the message of NO to eating, but still ate today. In the morning, I ate the cooked vegetable broth again with 2 baby carrots and a larger slice of cooked cabbage about the size of a man's fist. My body was telling me to stop because it was too full, but I kept eating the cabbage. Still felt that blood sugar feeling although not that bad. In addition though, perhaps it was too soon to eat cooked vegetables because my stomach felt blehhhh. Later on, I made tomato broth and had a medium sized bowl of it with a small piece of cabbage and still felt that blood sugar feeling.
Day 7 of refeeding: Skipped eating until 4:00 PM, where I tried ONE last time to eat watermelon. My body is saying NO to watermelon, but I just wanted to experiment one last time. Ate 3 TINY cubes and still feel the blood sugar anxious, jittery feeling.
That's where I am as of now. The blood sugar/insulin issue does not appear to be improving. I feel my heart race everytime I eat, and I feel jittery. Kind of like I might spasm or something. I feel like I have not been listening to my body. My body is not hungry and giving me the signal that it does not want food, but I have been forcing myself to eat due to nervousness about malnutrition. It's over the 40 day mark since I started fasting. What do you suggest I do at this point? It seems like me eating too much watermelon on day 2 of refeeding did something to my blood sugar/insulin/or something like that, and it doesn't appear to be improving. I do not feel too well although I'm not feeling seriously ill by any means. On the bright side, I have not had much issue with cramping or stomach pain.
Thanks.
