Muscle Milk And Nausea



Recommended Posts

I had a muscle milk today that was banana cream flavored. It made me very nauseas for at least 30 minutes. This is the second time I had tried one of these, same flavor. First one was about 5 weeks post op and I was fine with it. Now I really didn't like it much at 11 weeks. Has anyone else had this problem? I am a little bummed because banana creme used to be absolute favorite flavor pre-op, especially in yoplait light.

I hear that your taste buds change drastically. Sry

Tastes do change and over the course of my journey I must have switched "favorite" Proteins four or five times.

Muscle Milk was one I loved and absolutely cannot tolerate now. For me, I think the artificial sweeteners and flavors are what upset my system.

Try something new until you find something else you like. Buy samples or find a sample pack online until you find a few options that work. I found that sticking to basic flavors like chocolate, vanilla or coffee/cappuccino helped me enjoy a flavor much longer. It's easy to get tired of drinking the same shake every day.

It is funny that you mention banana as making you sick. I was given strawberry banana Jello in the hospital as well as strawberry banana yogurt. All i could taste was a sickening sweet banana taste. Disgusting...

I have heard taste can change dramatically

Only time I recall feeling sick post-op was after drinking a banana muscle milk two weeks ago. Who knows why, but I won't be going back for anymore of that.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
