I use the Wheybolic Extreme Protein powder from GNC; I have never felt a sense of bloating with it. I only use 1.5 scoops per 8 oz of 1% milk, and tolerate it well.

Everyone is an individual, so we won't have the same experiences. But it is important to find a good quality Protein shake that you are able to tolerate.

Perhaps this is a topic to discuss with your surgeon or their staff...

Best wishes...

I also wonder if a lot of bloating just happens with the surgery, if you know what I mean- I've had more but not particularly associated with a particular thing that I've noticed. I use Unjury, and actually if I just have Protein Shakes I have less gas/bloating. I also agree with Carole to ask your surgeon. Good luck!

oh, and I don't mean just right after the surgery, I'm 5 months out and still have a lot of gas, etc- I think it has to do with not as much stomach to aid in digestion. This is my theory, not medically vouched for, LOL.

Thanks guys ....... I did ask the nurse at my Drs ofc and she suggested switching to different brand until I found something that didn't bother me......I also was reading that Protein Shakes mess w hormone levels and that could be causing the bloating.....gonna try Water instead of almond milk or reg milk and see how that does......really don't want to keep switching they are not exactly cheap. Thanks for the advice!

I don't do shakes I eat protein! I tolerated them when I had to.some tasted better than others.But I really didn't enjoy most of them at all.But the best ones I have had are pure Protein, and Atkins.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
