4th day Preop diet
I am thinking that something is really wrong about the protein drink. Every time I drink it I get really nauseated and woozy and I get a headache. I did some research and thought that it might be lactose intolerance or a whey protein allergy. I purchased some lactase and some gasX and this evening I took the lactase before I drank the drink and then took a gasX. About 10 minutes after I finsihed drinking, I was extremely nauseous and felt terrible. I sat really still and did a lot of deep breathing and it settled down after about 20 minutes. I walked around a little and belched several times and I feel MUCH better except for a burning stomach. I took a TUMS and I think that worked. If I am allergic to Whey protein what will I do? I know there are veggie type protein drinks out there but they don't have as many grams of proteins and I dread the taste. I am calling the doc first thing on Monday. Hopefully I can get some alternatives. But what to do tomorrow...I don't know if I can drink the protein drink knowing what will come after.
I knew going into this that food choices might be a problem. I like what I like and if I don't like it my throat won't swallow it. If it happens to get by, I generally throw it right back up. :cursing:
I had quite an episode of diarrhea this morning. I got some benefiber even though it has a few carbs in it but I think the diarrhea:blushing: is also a symptom of my intolerance of the drink.
I lost another 2 pounds though. :mad: I might just be back to my pre summer weight by the time the REAL weight loss starts.
Hanging in there.
