Portein

Hello all, I was at work this morning. Then all of a once I got very very light headed and all most past out at work. I had my banana then started taking my vitamins... I was at my computer had to take of my glasses and lay me head down. A co worker told me to eat some nuts. So I did, little by little I felt so much better... I guess I need more portein, but I am so tired of food... So what do I do now...

are you drinking your protein shakes everyday?or..maybe call your doctor..ok? dont take any chances....god bless you..keep me posted on your condition.....ron in arizona

I have to get a portein drink that I like. I have not had a drink in some time now... thanks ron

I can't stand food anymore myself. I have to force myself to eat, it's awful If I don't eat I get cramps in my stomach, my legs start cramping and feel sick and sometimes I'll throw up some of my meal. My surgeon is AGAINST the portein drinks but I still buy Atkins low Carb drinks as they seem to help me when I can't stomach food. There is 20grams of portein in each can. Another problem I'm having is getting my water in on a daily bases. Donna

I need to drink that portein My doctor is against the portein drinks also... but if we do not eat then what... thanks

What about your water? Are you getting 64 oz. a day? 2 weeks after surgery I started having the same problem. It turns out I was getting dehydrated. It is an awful feeling. When it happens I drink diluted Gatorade and it perks me right back up. Check with your doctor!

Hi Brenda, I am so suprised that your doctor is against the protein drinks. I wonder what his theory is on this. But anyway I also get lightheaded if I don't do protein in the morning. I do the Isopure premixed/prebottled protein with 40g each from GNC. Or sometimes a powder protein with soy milk or juice and the banana. You may need some calories in the morning. Another option that my Dr. recommended is gatorade and I am able to tolerate it and it perks me up esp. in the morning and after workouts and if you are not eating much. Also have you tried B-12? this helps me also Good Luck and take care of yourself

I see his PA and she siad the if you have the drinks, then you are not eatting protein... I get all kinds of B-12 thanks

Hey Brenda, I'm managing to get in about 100 gms of protein a day and feel great. Here's my typical meal schedule: B: 16 oz of chocolate carb countdown mixed with a banana and 1 scoop of chocolate unjury protein (tastes like a chocolate shake - yum!) S: string cheese L: some sort of seafood, chili, or 1/2 lean cusine S: Protein power crunch bar - very yummy D: 1/2 lean cusine or seafood. S: 6 oz of water mixed with protein Plenty of water in between. Hope this helps! Candy 266/225/130

I think Ronald hit the nail on the head! Talk to you doctor, and also, GET IN MORE PROTEIN DARLING! Vera
