NewKaren 5 Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Is anybody having this problem? Even a 10 oz. Protein Shake has to be done in 2 sittings. I sip slowly and eat very slow but I'm at the point where I'm getting a little lightheaded here and there. Sometimes after I eat I also get what feels like the gas pain I had after surgery in my left side. I go back to doc for 3 month check up tomorrow but was just curious...

stephh 634 Posted December 18, 2014 I'm 9 weeks out and have this issue. It takes me around 2.5-3 hours to drink a Protein Shake. I feel fine unless I exercise; I begin to light headed then and it takes me a few days after to recuperate. I'm very happy with my weight loss thus far though!

stephh 634 Posted December 18, 2014 Also, I'm not sure about the gas pain. It doesn't sound right, I would definitely mention it tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnmlst 249 Posted December 18, 2014 10 oz is a lot! That's more than a cup. I'm pretty sure our stomachs can only handle about a half cup of food at this point. Maybe a cup of liquid, but 10 oz is definitely a lot. I have my Protein shakes in half servings. I'm only 7 weeks out, but I can't imagine having a whole one in a sitting. I also have to be very careful about my food or I get horrible chest pain and sliming. I don't think it's super unusual? But if it's bothering you, definitely mention it to your doctor.
