Hello............

to all my NC forum ladies and gents.  I have not been on here in awhile.  I wanted to drop in , say hello, hope all is well with you all and your families.  Hope eveyone is sticking to there protein and drinkig their water.  Me on the other hand, protein makes me gag  ,  then I have to go to the  , and have the worst cramps you could ever imagine and sit there for 45 min...  Has that ever happened to any of you all?  If so I wonder why it happens.  I know protein is something we need, but I have tried many kinds and they all have the same effect on me.  Drinking, gagging, cramping, dumping.........  Oh well hope you all have a wonderful Sunday. GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Yes, it sure sounds like you are dumping.  (BTW, it is great to hear from you again!)  What kind of volume are you taking in?  Remember not to go over 30 mgs protein in one sitting.  Also I would recommend stretching out the time a bit for you to consume it.  Have you consulted with your NUT?  I am sure it will pass with time, but sounds like a real pain for now.  How are you tolerating other food?  What kind of protein drink are you using?  How many carbs?  Fat? Hope you get some answers!  I would start with the NUT. All the best,

Hey thank you so much.  I have 4oz-6oz in the morning, after I exercise, and sometimes at night with fat free skim milk. I bought Body fotress chocolate.  Tastes good but I just can't tolerate it.  I also have taken those protein bullets and I can't tolerate it either.  I tolerate other food well.  I am still on my soft food till December.  My nut wants me to count my calories and protein.  I was trying to get her to explain to me how, when I can't eat the whole serving............... And she was too in a rush to pick up her child to help me understand it .  I think I am going to find another NUT.  

I couldn't tolerate the protein supplements early on either.  They made me gag and I have a bunch of bullets still in the fridge sealed.  Can't believe he has you on soft food til Dec!  Bummer!  I make my own protein shakes with unflavored protein powder and either a tsp of cocoa powder or some cold coffee mixed in with a cup of milk and crushed ice.  I do tolerate that well. I have heard that Isopure goes down ok for most folks.  Just sip a bottle all day. Also not crazy about my NUT either...  Good luck!

Hey Dana~~~  Where have ya been girl?  I was wondering that a couple of days ago!!   I have had a HORRIBLE time finding protein that agrees with me.  I know I have spent hundreds of dollars on stuff I cannot have.  It sucks.  Right now I have a ton of the protein bullets just sitting here because they make me sick.  It really sucks.  Go to The Vitamin Shoppe in Matthews (Pineville may have one too..) and get you some Power Crunch Bars.  They are lighter than normal protein bars.  15 grams of protein, 200 cals...  Pretty good too.  I have had Chocolate Peanut Butter and Cookies and Cream.  I need to head back up that way and buy a few more.  :)   I do hope you feel better soon.. and POST SOME NEW PICS GIRL!!!  :)

Okay.. nevermind.. you have posted some.  LOL

Protein Crunch bars it is then.  Thanks so much.... LOL   

Power Crunch.... :)  You have protein on the brain chick!

OOOpss!!! Sorry girlie  ((((Big Hug))))

Hey Girlie. I've missed you. Glad your doing alright, other than the protein stuff. I hope you find something that works. I do protein bars as wee, but not everyday. Never did the drinks, I couldn't. They made me  to. Good luck and hang in there.        ((((((HUGS)))))))                                                 Tiffany
