Protein shakes and nausea

I just started my liquid diet which is protein shakes for me. They've been making me nauseated. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and if so what, if anything, can I do about it?

    Have you tried a different flavor? I get nauseous with one and really don't like another, but I've found that chocolate shakes mask the taste and I can tolerate them. Good luck!!

Thank you! I will try that.

I battled extreme nausea for the first 3 months of my recovery. I'm now 5 months out and it only happens a few times a month now, very rare. Flat ginger ale (clear with your doctor) and saltine crackers helped me. I'd literally eat half a saltine cracker and it helped a lot.

I wasn't perfect in my recovery, but I do think my nausea is why I lost SO much weight so quickly (I lost 80 lbs in 5 months). It simply became not worth it to eat. But I'm so glad it's not happening anymore. I feel healthier now that I'm getting substantial nutrients in every day.

The Iron in my Vitamins tends to nauseate me, so I always eat something first (like my Greek yogurt in the morning) and THEN take my Vitamin. I'll often have a bite or two of a saltine before I take my afternoon vitamin.

Hope this helps.
