I was supposed to start full liquids yesterday but I was slacking, I didn’t get even 1/3 of my protein.. and all day I didn’t feel right. Kind of nauseous and queasy. I’m guessing it’s because I’m starting to get weak and NEED that protein, but feeling that way made it even harder to stomach getting any down. Does that make sense? Did anyone else feel like this? Up until yesterday I felt great but I’m guessing my body is starting to need that protein. Any advice or hearing your story would be so appreciated!

#1 priority is to get your fluid in. #2 is protein. We Arizona gals MUST get those fluids in every single day. It is too hard to catch up once we get even a little dehydrated. Try taking smaller sips more frequently. Water down the protein shakes if you think they feel too thick or too concentrated. Just because the schedule says you have to eat such and such by a certain week doesn't mean it will work for you perfectly. You have to listen to your body. Some weeks you have to back off certain foods a bit and then try again later. But water, water, water is the biggest priority.

Sometmes when my appetite is just not there, I try some soup - like Progresso lentil or split pea. I can add protein powder to it, and the soft, more fluid texture seems to settle better.

The you are right, must be why I. hear for make my own soups, add protein powder and then ,Baby, We Rock!
