Protein is making me sick
I bought several different protein supplements to use over the course of the next several weeks. I am not getting in the amount of protein like I should. I have not been able to find a protein supplement that does not make me puke. I have taking my antinausea medication, but it still isn't helping. Just smelling the protein has made me vomit. I stopped using the protein and went to full liquids, and I feel much, much better. I am not puking at all now. I am still not getting enough protein in, but I don't know how to do that without the supplements, which make me vomit. I don't want my band to slip or anything because of vomiting.
I drank the protein slowly with small sips, and I did everything I was supposed to do, but I can not keep the protein down. What should I do?
I am going to call the nutritionist on Monday, but I am looking for advice here.
Heidi,
ME TOOOOO. My surgery was Apr. 25. I am today just starting full liquids which really isn't much. Just thin mashed potatoes, and applesauce or cream of wheat or oatmeal (1 oz). Protein is so hard for me to get down. I get some and then gag or get diarreah. Yuck. I did get some samples today to try and will persevere. But I cannot wait till week 3. Pudding, cottage cheese, etc.
Hope you find something soon.
In Christ,
Joan M
