    Feeing sick

    I can relate to your nausea, I was severely nauseated for 3 weeks, took zofran twice daily, had a patch behind my ear and compazine if needed. Had to drink slow, but it got better, now I'm not nauseated. It does get better. Some of the protein shakes were so sweet and sickly, good luck.

    Can't drink Protein, HELP!

    I had the hardest time drinking protein shakes after surgery, tried fairlife milk and was able to tolerate it, used it to make puddings and soups. Now 3 weeks out and can finally get one premier shake in. Just keep trying. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using BariatricPal mobile app
