Call Dr. Spaw's office ASAP and inquire!!!!  Better safe than sorry, let us know!! Shelia

Hi Liz!

So sorry that you are having trouble.  There is a really nasty stomach flu going around right now.  I hope that is not what you have.  Do protein drinks always effect you like this or is this a new thing?  It could be you just chose a brand that doesn't agree with your tummy.  Since we are all different it sometimes takes a bit of experimenting to get the perfect one.

Do you have any other symptoms besides the poopy problem?  Drink plenty of fluids and keep us posted on what is going on with you.  If you have questions...call Dr. Spaw's office.

yea,,alot of gas is the other problem,,I have been using the same kinda protein drink's for quite awhile tho..maybe my system is mad at me,,I just drank more water and got some sf popsicle's..

Did you call the office yet??

yes I did call,,they said it was just my body cleaning it's self out and to drink more water and have broth

YEAH!!!  I thought that might be the case, but with all they yucks going around, I wanted you to make sure!!! Keep it up!! Shelia

I'm on my 3rd day and doing the same thing. I'm so glad to see your question already because I was coming here to ask the same thing. It's taking a lot out of me. I'm glad that I'm not working right now. I just don't have the energy. I just drank the broth from chicken noodle soup because my nut. said that we couldn't have regular soup. Also last night I tried a bottle of Isopure liquid protein in Apple Melon and it made me sick. That's some nasty stuff. I'll stick to my other protein. Well at least there won't be much to clean out the night before surgery. lol

Tnak-God Im not alone in this,,lol ! When is your surgery ? Mine's the 18th

You'll want to stay away from what we so affectionately call Iso-puke! It is definitely  some nasty stuff! At Vitamin Shoppe, you can get a protein drink called Cytosport protein drinks. I've had watermelon, tangerine, and tropical. MUCH, MUCH better than isopure. Others have said the same thing... That said, congrats to both of you as you prepare for the change of a lifetime! We're glad you're with us! ~ Tara
