I can't seem to tolerate any type of Protein supplement. shakes, drinks, powders, bars. They all make me nauseous and then vomit.
Anyone else experience this. What do you do.

Have you tried double milk - essentially milk mixed with powdered milk. (or add milk powder to yogurt - Water down the yogurt to a consistency you can have). That helped me when I started to not tolerate Protein Shakes.

Having had similar issues, some Proteins I found a little more tolerable are PEScience Select Protein Powder mixed with unsweetened Ripple milk, BariatricPal juice flavor Protein mixes (I couldn’t tolerate syntrax) BariatricPal Protein Shots are great. They also have protein broth (including one that’s a Meal Replacement with vitamins) and hot cocoa. It all depends on your stage, type of surgery and if you find you still can’t tolerate these things best to speak to the surgeon and they might want to run tests.

Hi
Try unflavored Protein Powder (Genepro & Isopure) Protein Water (Premier, Protein 2o), Protein juice style powders (Syntrax), Protein Shots and protein Soup. The BP store here has a lot of different types.
Also try whey isolate not concentrate (Isopure) & vegan protein (Ghost)
Good Luck 💜

I use Ensure Max on ice. It doesn't taste great but if I drink 2 per day I get all my Protein. As I'm only 30 days out I can't eat my protein at 1/3 cup of food. Ice seems to make it taste better. I've also used vegetarian protein and that seems to be better. It is hard to get 60g of protein a day. Unfortunately I don't know of any protein pill.

Prior to 20-May I couldn't feed the end of this belt through the buckle. My thumb references where the end of the belt now ends.
Fortunately I had a couple of pairs of uniform pants tucked away from before my huge weight gain. These are now getting to big. I see new uniforms and belt in the near future.
I'm kinda liking the new me.
