every time i drink a protein shake i get incredibly nauseous. what can i do? it totally wipes me out. i take a tums and still am nauseous. i'm finding it hard to eat anything so have been sticking to protein shakes. when i eat i feel so full and that's on 1 to 2 ounces of food. i've even thrown up some.

i see crystal tomorrow and will talk to her about it then.

Hey Lisa have you tried protein shakes mixing them with water? Maybe its a lactose thing.Hope you feel better soon.

great question. i do mix them with water. at first it was skim milk but they set too hard on my belly so switched to water just a couple of days later so have been on water for a couple of weeks now. good thinking though.

What form of protein though is it Whey or Soy?? Whey is from milk right. Just a thought you may need soy instead. But I have confidence in Dr Loggins and his staff they will get it all sorted out.

That stinks!  I wonder what the deal is?  Hopefully they will let you now tomorrow what it might be.  I have had no troubles at all.  I am on soft foods now and have already had turkey chili etc.  1/4 moving up to 1/2 a cup is going okay as well.  It must be something funky.  Maybe it is the whey?  I sure hope it gets taken care of soon and you start to feel better and can eat something instead of drink it. Are you going to the post op mtg on Thursday?  I am assuming maybe not since it is a drive and you will be here tomorrow.

it is whey protein. hmmmm. now you've got me thinking. just started a few days ago too. i've been drinking it for about a week and a half or so. i got it from gnc. that stuff is expensive too! i've also tried some soft foods like tofu and that sets fine unless i have one bite too many. pudding and applesauce are great too. oh, i tried the pastaless lassagna too and that set great. god i love cheese.

That is how I feel when I have too much sugar.  Is there any amount of sugar in your Protein Drinks?
