Hi my name is Paamie and I live in Nyc. I had my surgery May 20th. I am down 30lbs, but I can not keep the Protein Shakes down at all. I have bought so many and nothing will stay down the the Protein shakes in them. I am nauseated every morning. My biggest fear is when I return to work next week how am I going to handle this?

I was the same way for a couple of weeks. I drank a lot of Water and Powerade. I found a Protein Shake called Muscle Milk (premade) and kept it VERY cold. It helped quite a bit. Hope this helps.

I was told muscle milk has a lot of fat in it and its more for people trying to build muscle not lose fat

The Muscle Milk is for the Protein. Mine has 7 grams of fat, 30 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar and 200 calories per serving. My surgeon and dietician highly recommend it.

I too had issues with Protein shakes and reflux and nausea. I found the muscle milk RTDs and they have been a life saver. I like the chocolate flavor very cold and it does not make me nauseous.

Some people get lactose intolerant. Check the ingredients and see if there is any milk. I had a problem with diarrhea very time I drank a shake. I started taking LacTaid and it helped. I don't have the problem any more-3 mos post op.

Muscle milk is lactose free.

Muscle milk claims to be milk and lactose free on the front of their package, however the whey Protein that muscle milk is made from comes from milk protein which if you are lactose intolerant you can not digest! I am lactose intolerant and made the huge mistake of believing when it said contains no milk and is lactose free without reading the actual label. I drank a whole bottle of it and was violently ill the next day from it! Do NOT drink this if you are lactose intolerant!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
