I am post -op by one week. Before surgery I went and found a protein shake and powder I liked. I chose pure protein so I could try to get the most protein. I can't drink them now. Every time I try they make me sick at my stomach. Even making a smoothie with powder I get nausea.

Interesting. Thank y'all for setting me straight on the protein shots. I thought they were ok because I first found them on a bariatric website that my doc uses. I'm only 2 months post op and I admit that I'm still learning. I'm still in the trial and error stage...mostly errors.

OK I goofed. When I saw the word 'Whey' in the name I thought it was the same as the ones I ordered from Bariatric Advantage web site. I just checked and it's not. The 'Yes Whey' brand says it is 100% whey. Again, thank you guys...I'm serious. I took for granted they were the same since the name was so similar. https://www1.bariatricadvantage.com/catalog/list/11/Protein

Tbearfan,

That was SO helpful! The protein shots are right up my ally. I can't handle the Unjury Chicken Broth flavored drink, it's way too salty for me. I bought the New Whey shots, literally right after I read your post. Until I can drink the milk based protein drinks, these seem very tolerable! And much less stressful to drink 3.4 fl oz instead of 8! Thank you!

GAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRHHHH!!!!!!!

I only intend on drinking these until I am able to drink the other protein drinks. It's a decent substitute until that time comes.

Say what you want... this is only a substitution until Tuesday. '

That's fine, but the simple fact is that because of the type of Protein used in that shot, you really need to count them as 4grams of protein, because that is all your body will be able to absorb. Less than 10%. I won't say anything else about this on this thread.

First things first, I see that you are 1 week post op. how are you doing on your Fluid intake(water)? There is a very good possibility that your stomach still has too much swelling to tolerate the heaviness of a Protein drink.

Also, do not waste your money on protein shots. They are completely useless. The protein they contain is not useable by the human body.

My fluid intake is really good. It took about 3 days to get it back up there. and I am tolerating soft foods the Nut. told me to start soft foods about day 3.

I tried those protein shots to get the pro team and I'm just curious to know how you tolerate them they were so nasty I I hated them

My iPhone totally ruined my last post. I meant to say I tried the protein shots to get in my protein and I don't know how you can stand them. The watermelon and grape were so nasty. Are they possibly any better now

the protien shots has to be made with whey most of them are collogen and that does not absorb. i just found a good one of baratricadvantage 25gr of protien check it out

Check out syntax nectar and matrix products. I have found them to be tasty mix well in water (. Or milk) and offer a high amount of protein ( 23 grams plus 7-8 more for milk). Syntax offers a lot of different favors; find one that works for you. I like the sweet versions like chocolate truffle and double cookie and vanilla crime and...

I really like the syntrax protein shakes and the nectar. I am lactose intolerant and one of my favorite ways to get protein is to make sugar free jello pudding with Lactaid milk. Then I add isopure vanilla protein powder and I think they are really yummy. Sometimes I add a teaspoon of sugar free cool whip and I feel like I am having dessert!

I truly appreciate your input OTR. I, personally, place a high value on anything you post. Just wanted you to know... And thanks.

Is Isopure lowcarb good?? D jar says do not use for weight reduction...why so?? Its 220cal per serving of 2scoops (which is divided throughout d day) wd just 3g carb,1g fat, and 50g Protein.
