I had my Protein shake this morning. Not too shabby: 8oz skim milk, 1 scoop of chocolate Protein powder and a tsp of Torani SF chocolate syrup.

So here I am at work. I feel pretty good actually. It sounds stupid, but I sort of feel lean and mean LOL!

The only problem is an intermittent feeling of slight nausea. Anyone had this? Do I need more Water? Does it go away? My instinct is to have some warm broth, but I'm trying to wait until lunch as I left my midday Protein Shake and Jello at home in the fridge (yeah, stupid!) It's almost 10:00 here.

Crickets chirping.

It could be part of the ketosis. Your body is rebelling! It's missing the sugar. Then again, are you lactose intolerant? Sometimes milk doesn't work too well with our gastric systems. I'm more betting on the blood sugar response though.

HTH And great job, and great attitude! All of this will be worth it in the end - no doubt.

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad I'm doing the pre-op diet as this is the one I will be using post-op. As it is now, I have to have something in my stomach - even a little broth or I get nauseated and have a bit of what I can only describe as acid stomach. I know it's only 1 day, but so far, so good.

I mixed plain Isopure Protein powder into some Soup last night. Boy, yuck, that stuff smells nasty. Couldn't taste it or smell it when it's mixed into a strong flavored soup. This morning I made a lemon cream shake. (Pro Max vanilla, 1/2 tsp SF lemon pudding mix, 1 tsp Torani lemon syrup). I'm definitely not lactose intolerant.

I've been reading on these boards that there are people that can't stand the Protein shakes. Seriously, the net is full of recipes so that they need not be consumed plain. You know, you can even bake with them or turn the shakes into ice cream with a little home ice cream maker. You do need to use 2% milk for that though - otherwise skim or 1% will do for shakes.

and yes to the low blood sugar. I think that's it too.
