Has Anyone Had Trouble WithProtein Shakes?

I've tried all Brands and types. Every single one makes me sick. At first i thought it was whey but i tried plant, soy, egg white. I was able to keep the egg white down one time but i had to mask it with a lot of fruit and juice and it still tore my stomach in knots. Has anyone else had problems with Protein and did you ever come up with a solution?

Could it be lactose?

No i tried Lactose free and that's why i tried plant protein with water. But thanks for the response

I don't use protein powder at all. I can get my protein in with drinking skim milk and my food. I track it on MFP. I am supposed to get 50-60 grams a day. I do use carnation sugarfree instant breakfast and that mixed with a cup of skim milk is 13 grams of protein.I seem to be the only one on here that goes to a doctor that does not recommend using protein powder.

Less of me I'm pretty much done trying different types as it hurts too much to throw it up and I'm almost 10 weeks out.

KristiKay i will give that a try

My NUT said when I get to the real food stage to eat food vs drinking shakes. She said wean yourself off of them asuch as possible.

Ah ok I didn't know where you were post op... I can't see profiles from my phone.

Sorry I couldn't be of any help. Hope you start feeling better soon and find something that works.

Have you tried Isopure? It is clear and fruit flavored. One bottle is 40 grams protein. I mix a little into my crystal light throughout the day. I HATED protein shakes, they made me gag! Until I tried the vanilla premier protein mixed with coffee.

unfortunately Isopure was the first one to make me sick but thanks for the post

Nate, are you holding down everything else just not the protein drinks?

Premier Protein that comes already mixed is the only one that doesn't make me ill.

Nate

Did you try the Isopure shake or the clear drink?

I'm also one who has trouble with shakes. For a while I was tolerating GNC's pre-mixed Total Lean, but after my recent bout with norovirus, I can't even handle that any more. They were tolerable, now they're cloyingly sweet and just leave me feeling icky. I had an Atkins vanilla shake tonight (I'm back on only liquids for a bit) and held that down okay.
