Help...all the protein is making me vomit.



Recommended Posts

Ok I'm only a couple days out but I'm concerned bc every Protein I've tried so far is causing me to vomit as soon as I swallow it.. I can drink my broth, Water and etc but the protein is just not going down.

I've tried Isopure, powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, and a protein bullet from Walgreens.com.. Please let me know if there's anything else.. I am on clear liquid only.

Thank you

I had a hard time with the clear Protein Drinks like special K Protein Water mix, Isopure it would coat my tongue and burn my throat and almost made me vomit so I called the drs. office and they told me to stop drinking it since I would be able to have skim milk and stuff in a few days. They didn't want me vomiting. So you might want to call them about it. I do know that reading on here all doctors are different but I can't imagine throwing up is good for the stomach or the incisions. Good luck. Things do get easier and I am only 3 weeks out.

Actually skim milk is in my list for this week, 4 oz portions but I was scared to try it but I guess I'll give it a try in the morning. Thanks so much!

I had originally used an old copy of the post sleeve diet and the first week there was no Protein and did not notice it until I was at home a few days. The doctor and nurse told me not to worry, it was far more important to get your fluids at that time. Take it easy, go slow and hopefully it won't be so bad after a few days and you can start taking it in better.

It can be hard in the beginning. One of the easiest Protein Drinks I found (and I actually liked it) was Syntrax's nectar. They have 15 different flavors and most of them are fruity. They still have the chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, etc. but they have a lot of flavors that mimic Crystal Light. I actually bought a sample pack from mybariatricpantry.com and got to choose the flavors I wanted. They had a ton of samples that you could buy of different product lines. I also tried Syntrax's Matrix sample pack and loved those too. The mint cookie was my favorite. A great site for samples and foods that's for sure especially if you don't know what you like or haven't tried a lot of different things. Hope this helps and remember...it will get better!! :D

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
