OptiFast complaint again.....

this is not working for me. It is not the hunger issue that is bothering me.  It is the shakes.  My stomach is not liking them at all.  I dred drinking them.  I get so nasueated from drinking them and my stomach is in a constant state of unrest. I get very bloated and gassy and have diarreah.  I had to make me chicken broth yesterday with a bullion cube to settle my stomach.  I can deal OK with the bar and the soup they give is fine.  It is the shakes that my stomach does not like.  I treid calling the nut, but she is in another office today.  maybe I will try calling there.

She will be at the Support Group Meeting tonight if you go there and you could still get her at McLean if you call their number - it is on the web site.... Good luck........ Jackie

That is how I feel when I drink milk products.  I'm lactose intolerant.  Have you ever noticed problems with drinking milk or eating dairy products before now?  Maybe trying a different type of protein would do the trick.  Call your dr's office or nutirtionist and see what your other choices are.  Make sure they give you a couple of choices that have only whey protein ISOLATE (not concentrates) and that should solve it if it's a lactose intolerance.  I was really fortunate, that the slimfast shake I drank during my pre-op was tolerable, even though it had lactose in it.  Unfortunately, post surgery my sensitivity got worse.  I hope you can get this sorted out and your tummy stop doing somersaults!
