I can't do the supplement regime

Don't know how anyone can do the protein supplements. Or even the calcium citrate. It makes me sick just thinking of it. The smell reminds me of animal food and grass. The only time I have vomited was when I tried to take the protein and again vomited when I tried the Calcium. The only things I can tolerate are the 2 Flintstone Complete vitamins per day. I am really not doing well with these supplements. My food choices are still extremely limited, and the amounts are only about 2 ounces at a time. Am I the only one who is not tolerating these?

I have tried one protein drink & did not like it. I have not tried any of the others in my cupboard so far. I have been able to take the calcium chews made by Viactiv. They taste like candy & are a bit too sweet, but I can manage. I have also tried the Zone protein bars, they are good. All other protein bars are rather disgusting. I am eating more than 2 ounces, usually around a half cup depending on what consistency the food is. Good luck on your journey! Priscilla

I now take chewable calcium tablets from www.puritan.com. I order #4442. This is the site that I get most of my vitamins from. They are pretty much the least expensive

I am 7 weeks out and have yet to find a protein drink I can handle. YUCK!!! I am using a chewable calcium called ActiveCal from GNC. Its a caramel chew and is good. It just takes a while to chew chew chew the whole thing, but like you I got sick when I tried a pill form. I am going to have to buckle down and try and find a protein supplement I can use. I am thinking more on the lines of a protein bar than a drink. Good luck to you!! Kim

Sorry you guys aren't in Houston. There is a place here called Dan's Vitamin House. He sells vitamins and smoothies. The place stays crowded. He makes it from a malt that looks like ice cream, adds your juice choice and as little banana. I add a supplement called "Preferred Nutrition" which is a whey lactose free base. It's delicious. Can't taste the health stuff in it at all. It's like you're cheating. I bought some malt from him so I could make these my protein shakes in the am. I gag on protein drinks but this is a real healthy a llittle over 250 cal drink for the amt I can drink.

I can't do the protein either!!! Every time I even think about having to drink that glorified baby formula I want to vomit!! The only time I feel truly sick to my stomach is when I try to drink that. The smell alone is enough to make me ill. I have tried the protein bars too. However, they are just too much to eat in one sitting. I can't finish a whole one at a time so then I just eat half. The problem is, I never eat the other half because they're gross. Therefore, I have 2 dozen half eaten protein bars in my cupboard! YUCK For calcium I eat 4 Ultra Tums a day. This works out well because it helps with my gas problems at the same time. You may want to try them. I also take 2 chewable Centrum daily - not as yucky as Flintstones, but bigger! Hope that helps!

Thank you everybody! It is good to know that I am not the only one out here!
