Has anyone have moments where they just gag!

I also agree with the smells. The other day I added some unjury unflavored Protein to Soup and the smell was making me sick. I got it all mixed in, took a bite and gagged violently. It tasted like it smelled. Nasty!

I also tried the opurity Vitamins and they taste so bad mostly cause they smell bad. Just thinking about taking them makes me sick. Ugh!

What a strange journey this is!

I feel better I wasnt the only one! I wonder if the gag phase will phase out?

It does get better, I was sleeved November 20, and there were some days that I didn't think I could tolerate another Protein shake (I still use them to supplement). There is no way I can get 80-100 grams of Protein in a day without them.

This may be TMI, but I had problems with gagging while I was having a bowel movement for about 4 weeks, it was very strange and scary. This was the closest to "slimming" I have done, and it was awful. Eeeewwwwwww!

I take the Opurity Vitamins and it's all I can do the actually put them in my mouth. While I'm chewing those honking suckers I hold my breath..... They were making me nauseous too. I am now splitting them and taking half in the morning and half before bed. That has helped reduce the nausea.

What are opurity Vitamins?

On another note, Isopure Protein Drinks are the nastiest things on earth!

They are Vitamins specifically formulated for weight loss surgery patients. They have a specific formula for sleeve patients. I'm sure the formula is perfect and high quality....I just wish they'd put more research into making them

tolerable....

Good call on splitting them in half. Maybe I'll try that!

For those times when I'm feeling that way I eat a pickle spear (5 calories) or two. There is something about the salt.

I used to be a big coffee drinker... Had to have my minimum in the morning to start my day... It doesn't make me sick' date=' but I no longer care for the taste. I have taken to having a cup of English Breakfast Tea every morning... I was never a big fan of beef, but now the smell turns my stomach. And ALL of the Protein shakes I had pre surgery are sickeningly sweet now... Weird.[/quote']

Me too! I used to be a coffee junkie..now not so much but now I love tea..any kind of tea..hot or cold. I never liked tea before. I hate Protein Shakes now too..no matter what flavor..can't stand them. As for smells..I can smell bad breath a mile away and I'm totally disgusted. There is a coworker that uses garlic pills..its taking all I got not to barf

I freaked last month and thought I was pregnant (my period was 1 day 'late') because of of crazy my sense of smell is. I have an IUD- so I knew it was highly unlikely- but that is how high the smell to gag ratio was. It has mellowed some this month, but every now and then something will catch me off guard. I have a super stronger stomach, but man oh man apparently not much anymore. The very smell of Protein Powder is enough to make me dry heave.
