This is week 4 of ideal protein and i am getting frustrated!!! So i had some family/Friend issues and i was off IP for 2 weeks because i had to travel and i couldn't get back to my clinic to get anything for 2 weeks. Thank god i only gained 5 pounds back but still it was awful so much stress!! Then i got back on it lost 4 pounds and it is all good feeling confident! Then all of a sudden now i am SICK!!!! Been getting sick every night at the same time for the last 2 days!! and almost been fainting! Now today i have sore throat and spinning head!! So i haven't been following it for 3 days and i feel like absolute ****! The bloating is back and seems like i cant stomach anything like i will be fine during the day but when dinner time comes around or during dinner i get complete nausea and get sick!! I was even out to a nice fancy restaurant with my husband and his family and i had to jump up and run and thought i was gonna pass out on the way! I need suggestions if people have been feeling the same or what it is? And a little confidence boost wouldn't help either because i am down in the dumps again. Thank you all the IPEEPS

So sorry things have been stressful and that you are sick! I do have to ask, any chance you are pregnant? Being sick is horrible. I would suggest the chicken noodle soup. Maybe heat up only 1/3 portions at a time and sip. Gatorade makes a G2 gatorade which is way lower in carbs but not great. Keep drinking your water and rest. Maybe eat your protein for breakfast and lunch since you say you are better in the morning and save some of you packets for later. Hope this helps. Feel better soon!

Ok, so u were off of the program for 2 weeks, major stress, on it for one week and now sick and having problems with the program. Sounds like your body has gone through A LOT. It sounds like you are having more than IP issues with a sore throat and vomiting. I am not a doctor and have no medical background but I would go to a doctor and find out what she/he says. Stress can cause our bodies to do major things to our bodies.

Hope you feel better soon and can get OP. I saw on a site you can dilute 1 liter of pedialyte with 1 liter of water. Drink 1 liter and you will add 12.5 grams of sugar so it will count as your restricted for the day.

Thank you everyone!! I took a pregnancy test last night just to make sure because my TOM was not normal. and it was negative and took one this morning and it was negative. I think it is my body going though major stress. (My friend tried to commit suicide) and ever since its been difficult and even just a lot of arguments. And we hardly ever argue i just think necause of the stress. My body is doing weird things! And plus i get migraines every other day it is horrible! I just need to let my body take action i guess and live through it. But this is horrible! Also i hope to loose more weight before i am pregnant so i can be healthy

and even though i gained the weight i have lost 19 inches in 4 weeks!!!! so something is going on with my body

Don't count Pedialyte as your restricted - there is NO PROTEIN and no other nutrition included so it is NOT equivalent to a packet. Do what you need to in order to feel better, that should be your first priority
