Protein Shakes And Fear Of Hurling



Recommended Posts

Be sure it's not dairy based. Milk really hurts tummy. I've been drinking EAS carb control strawberry flavor. I've done ok. Take it very slow. It should take like an hour to hour and a half to drink a shake. Hope u get better.

Also I barfed for two days after surgery. If u barf just hold ur left side tight and it's not so bad. Barf in a bag so u don't have to bend over.

10 days since a BM? Even when we had my grandma on liquids she would still have bm's, obviously very small. After 3 days they said it becomes toxic and builds up leaking into the blood stream if I remember correctly. Was the Dr. worried about it being 10 days?

Didn't you just get out of the hospital 2 days ago? Don't worry about Protein shakes for now. Stick with Clear Liquids till you body & tummy have time to adjust. You WILL lose weight down the road. Right now your priority is to heal and adjust to your new tummy.

Have you taken any stool softners? I really, really like Miralax. I just take about a teaspoon a day in 4oz of Water a day and it keeps me pretty regular. You will need to take the normal dosage of any stool softener to get going. That's IF you feel like you need to go. You may not because you haven't had much intake.

Take things day by day. You really don't want to get dehydrated or you will keep being nauseous.

Gentle hugs!!

I did just get out due to pnemonia and blood clot... Now its been 10 days and the Protein is going to be put on back burner. I feel like junk I am going to go to Walgreens tomorrow to buy stuff to fix problem and I emailed surgeon begging for zofran rx to replace my missing one.

Zofran is a seratonin blocker and may be contributing to your poor mood ,constipation and even get this, nausea. Perhaps your doc can give you something different to try. I was reading something today that said Appx 50% of scrips written in USA were ineffective at treating what they were written for. Guess that's why they call it medical practice!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
