Throwing up Optifast....only on day 2. What can I do???
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
1) Call your Nutritionist ASAP
2) Switch to another Protien (I use UNJURY Vanilla in Skim Milk) yummm (chocolate's good too.
3) GO SLOW don't gulp it down. I make a silly routine of fixing my protien drink in a fancy glass,
turning on the music (or light a candle) and quietly sit and sip). Yep it works. + you can solve
a lot of other problems too hahaha
4) If Milk isn't your speed I've also used Premier Protien Shakes (ready to use) or Syntrax Nectar Protien Powder in Juice.
In any case call the Nutritionist or Doctor ASAP.
Good Luck

So sorry to hear this, I feel your pain. I can' t keep it down either. I'm trying so hard but it makes me vomit. It's not the taste, I can handle a bad taste easily. But the effect on my body - diarrhea, throbbing headache, quaking nausea, vomiting. My eyes hurt from throwing so violently.
I kept forcing myself to take sips but it doesn't stay down. Came up so fast I had to vomit in the kitchen sink, couldn't make it to the bathroom toilet.
Day 4 of Optifast and I can't keep it down, either.
Headache, nausea, sweats, vomiting. I'm following the diet to the letter - Optifast with water, some broth. Yesterday I had jello. Maybe it's the Aspartame, who knows? Called my Doctor's office and Nutritionist and left messages.
I'm feeling pretty sick.
