I was having the same problem when I was checking out pre-made protein drinks before my surgery. They all made me sooo nauseated and then I would get a splitting headache. The I found one that didn't. When I compared them I found the ones that made me sick had sucralose in them. The one that didn't make me sick is Orgain. They have one that has 16 grams of protein but 250 calories. They have another that has I think 25 or 26 grams of protein and only 150 calories. Of course the higher calorie one tastes better! I found them at the Vitamin Shoppe. They're expensive but I think they all are. They have 3 flavors. Maybe you can try them. Good Luck!

I had my gastric sleeve done on 4/21. Had a lot of nausea in hospital and when I went home but that is much better now. No pain meds since hospital. But several thing have happened since I got home. I hurt my back and can't do much walking. I feel so depressed and am not getting enough protein and water. Not even worried about weight loss at this point. Just want out of this funk. Am still at my parents house as I'm a little afraid to be by myself. I guess my main concern is am I going to be totally messed up with my protein and water intake and hurt myself physically? And I'm supposed to be walking, walking, walking and I can't even get up because of my back. Also my daughter lost her job in San Francisco and that is a terrible loss. Trying very hard not to feel sorry for myself but I'm really down. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks!
