I haven't tasted it myself but I know someone who did after she had excessive weight loss from complications after gastric bypass. She took it for exactly what you said, muscle loss. I would say make sure your kidney function is well within range because it is very concentrated in protein. If your dietitian or Doctor approves then go for it.

I have had a horrible time with this surgery and feel like I've made a huge mistake by having it done. The GERD has been sooo bad that I hate eating and sometimes drinking Fluid. I am having an aversion to milk based Protein drinks. I have H. pylori and need to take these horrible tasting antibiotics and can't keep them down! I wish I could just swallow the capsules and call it a day. I've already had to get IV fluids once and I know that my body is wasting away and not in a healthy way because I can't get my Vitamins and Protein in. I just don't even know what to do anymore. I'm so depressed that I don't even want to get out of bed because of the thought of having to eat and drink. (Yes, I'm on antidepressants). I feel like I'm failing big time. The reason I wanted this surgery was to get healthy and I feel like I'm less healthy now. Am I alone in this? I can't give up or it will seriously harm me. I want to enjoy my life and not live with regret and pain everyday.

Im 6 weeks out and hate eating now. I think im hungry and then after 3 bites i start hurting which i guess is me feeling full. It doesnt matter what food it is either. How in the world will I ever reach my Protein goals?! I also have a hard time with the shakes. The milk based ones are hard for me to drink and ive kinda developed an aversion. Im just adding Protein Powder to flavored water drinks. I forgot to mention that im fighting an h pylori stomach infection and hope that this is what part of the problem and my severe gerd stems from.

So glad you got some treatment. Hopefully you'll start feeling better soon.

Got fluids. Talked with my surgeon and he called me in another PPI and zofran. He also put me back on warm clears only for a few days. Not feeling the greatest and have no energy.

Also, it can be an esophageal spasm. To cold out to hot can trigger it.

I had my gastric sleeve on 10/23 and am on a full liquid diet. However, I mostly just drink my clear Protein Drinks since I started back at work. I've been feeling really full since I started my Vitamin supplements and have a hard time getting in all my protein/water. I now feel that there is a constant lump in my throat (full feeling). I am trying to drink past it, but sometimes I get nauseated. I only urinate once a day and its very dark. I know I'm getting dehydrated, but don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

Hi there, I'm still pre op but one thing I have learned on this site is you definitely need to urinate more than once a day so you might have to go and get iv fluids. I would call your surgeon and speak with them asap... hoping you feel better really soon! Keep us updated on how your doing.
