I'm 10 days out and ALL protien is making me sick. I start back on small amounts Monday but for now I'm off protien. I tried various protiens before I called their office from Isopure to BariEssentials. Ugh and I was trying so hard to get all of it in.

Wow! I'm sorry that it makes you sick. Who did you talk to? Pam? David? Dr. Kim? What sort of alternative did they suggest at this early stage of your recovery?

You must permanently change your lifestyle if you want your weight loss to be permanent. You can do it!

Pam. She thinks I'm starting to have swelling. She told me to stick to liquids, water, soups etc then slowly start reintroducing myself to my protien.

Take it nice and easy and follow her orders exactly. She knows what she's talking about. I'm sorry you're having this trouble. A year from now, it will be a distant, almost forgotten memory...{{{Hugs!}}} Hope you are feeling better soon.

That really sucks! I'm sorry. I'm just wondering on the details. Are the proteins you are trying all whey protein? Could it be an allergy? Could it be artificial sweeteners you are having a reaction to? Maybe you can try to add unflavored whey protein to some soup and see if that's the case when you start on protein again?

I'm sorry you're having a difficult time. I am 5 wks out and had the exact same challenge! It didn't make me throw up but it gave me horrible diarrhea!! I was miserable! Felt like I didn't leave the bathroom for 3 weeks. I finally found an egg based protein drink that worked wonders for me.
Good luck!! I hope things work out quickly for you! Now that I'm eating more foods.....things are MUCH better!!

you might try a soy based protein when you start again...I have heard that is easier on the tummy and some people are very sensitive to the standard whey protein....Best of luck to you!
