My dream (or nightmare) last night
I have not been getting in the protein that I should have. I am trying to find things that will work for me, but the tuna I was eating, I now gag on. It has really been on my mind. Last night I dreamed that when I woke up this morning, I was completely BALD. All of my hair was laying on my pillow. I am so petrified of this. My dietician and nurse have both said they have never seen a bald bariatric patient, but I am still afraid.
I have tried many, many, many shakes now, and so far have found nothing that I can take in, and keep down. Has anyone else noticed that things that never bothered them before now make them queasy? For some reason, I cannot even brush my teeth without gagging. Please someone tell me they are experiencing this, even slightly.
HI KATHY. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. EVERYTHING GAGS ME ALSO, ESPICALLY THE PROTEIN DRINKS. I KEEP SEARCHING AND SEARCHING FOR ONE THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME SICK. I FORCE AT LEAST 2 GLASSES DOWN A DAY, SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME AN HOUR TO DRINK IT LOL, GAGGING ALL THE WAY. A LOT OF THINGS BOTHER ME THAT I USE TO LOVE ESPICALLY COFFEE, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?? . WE WILL MAKE IT, WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP DOING THE BEST WE CAN EVERYDAY, ONE DAY AT A TIME. GOOD LUCK, TRUDY
Kathy,
It is funny I did the same thing with tuna I was eating it good for the first week then one day after I eat it I got sick at my stomach thinking about it and I have to say I have not touched it since also I have noticed that more things are doing me that way like protein I use to be able to drink it before the surgery and now it takes every thing in side me to get on 4oz of it but I just wanted you to know you are not alone....
Hi Kathy, Isopure has a fruit drink that you might want to try. There are a variety of flavors and they have 40g of protein. I bought some from GNC on yesterday because I am having the same problem with you and I for some reason feel like I am already loosing hair. Family and friends say it looks the same but I don't believe it. I just feel like it's thinning or something. It may be that I am just paranoid because I know that I am not getting the protein in that I need. Take care and good luck.
I bought that Isopure and didn't like it. I bought whatever the blue one is. I really think that it is that my tastes have seemed to change for whatever reason. I am now on to stage 4 and for some reason I have fallen in love with cantelope. I have always HATED it and now that is all that I want to eat. How weird is that???
