So I'm 17 days out and I've been making protein shakes one yesterday and one today I feel sick both times 2 scoops gmc 50 grams Protien 1/2 liquid protein 12.5 grams protein 1/4 banana. Can this be making me sick?

Sound like a dense liquid. Remember our new stomachs are adjusting and maybe it is too much at one time. Try halving it and see if sets better.

My NUT told me that your body can only absorb about 25 grams of protein during each meal. So, the 50 grams might be wasteful. I agree that you might need to half the amount.

Your body will absorb the Protein, but it might not be utilized fully for muscle building, but it won't hurt you. It could be a combination of things. The thickness of the liquid, you might be developing lactose intolerance and whey protein is a milk product. I would vomit, and have diarrhea with horrible gas before I realized I was lactose intolerant and tried to drink Protein drinks.

You can try making them half strength to see if that helps any, but don't be surprised if you still feel nauseated.

Thanks I'll try that you don't think banana is to much sugar? We get 5 grams a day right?

I avoided fruits only because of the carb/sugar counts. But, it might be a bit much for your healing tummy.

Per myfitnesspal.com a fresh banana has 17gr of sugar, and 31gr of carbs. I never had sugar guidelines because I ate sugar free stuff during that stage, and avoided carbs like the plague so I really don't have to watch sugar intake too closely.
