Nausea
I am two weeks out and am having a hard time with nausea. Any time i sip anything other than water, I get sick. I take really small sips and it is hard for me to get my fluids in, much less my protien. I finally found something that I don't mind drinking. EAS and Adkins shakes, but they don't provide the amount of protien I need.
I have meds for nausea, but I can't keep them down. I see my doctor tomorrow.
Has anyone else out there had this problem?

Yup, having the same problem. I saw my doc on Friday and he said just keep trying. He said it will get easier, he was more concern that I get my 64oz of liquid in. So I am getting maybe 1 shake in a day. I am now on full liquids and can handle yogurt better then the shakes, but haven't been over 30 grams of protein yet. As I say tomorrow is another day and I will try again. Good luck to you.

I'm sorry to hear about your nausea. Are there other anti-nausea options your doctor could recommend for you? I've been having some nausea as well and asked my doctor about it at my post- appt. he prescribed zofran and the patches that go behind your ear. I haven't used the patches because the zofran has helped. But I wonder if that might help?
Ive been struggling with my protein shakes as well. I've been pushing through it as best I can but the Atkins ones have been one kind I can tolerate but I agree that the 15 g of protein is a bummer. Nectar fuzzy navel (peach) has been my main source of protein lately and the one I tolerate best. I hope this stage passes soon for you!
