I am on day 3 on my pre-op diet which is 3-4 Chike shakes a day. For the past 2 days I've had diarrhea and upset stomach. Anyone else with a similar experience? Will it get better?

Hi Steph, I looked up the website as I'm not familiar with this product and I think you are running into the same problem that I had when I tried several protein shake brands from GNC and Vitaminshoppe. I got diarrhea, gas and bloating from them and found by Googling that a majority of people have these issues, something to do with lactate used in these products, I'm not lactose intolerant, but I can't do these for some reason. I even tried it with water and still had the same issues, so I knew it was the protein powder. Maybe try without milk and use some almond milk instead, this may be enough to get it agree with you. Another option may be Isopure, I have no problems with it. It is more expensive, but well worth it to me because I don't have the gastrointestinal issues with it. Maybe see if you can switch to this instead or another type the doctor suggests? Good luck!

If removing milk does not work I would call the physician who ordered them and ask for alternative. I never have mixed milk with my protein, I have always used water, dairy products give me gas since banding. This is no way to start your process. Hope you feel better.

Thank you for the advice, I've been mixing it with water.

Thanks for the advice. I've been mixing it with water & ice, no milk.

Sorry about the double posts still figuring out the site
