What happens when the protein shakes don't agree with you post-op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 days post-op, and although I advised my nutritionist and doctor that I had issues with dairy products, including eggs, I was still advised to used the whey Protein until I start my pureed diet. I don't think I'm getting the protein because it comes right back out, if you know what I mean. I switched to the soy Protein Powder and even though I can keep it down, it still gives me a slight rumble in my tummy. Any other suggestions? 2wks is a long time to struggle with this issue, I need protein.

How about mixing it with almond unsweetened milk or coconut unsweetened , I even added PB2 and it helped I'm not gagging or getting nausea from it with milk , also u can try Isopure , or Unjury maybe change the brand

I'm sure you are mixing your powder with something you can tolerate, like Water or soy milk. I've added non flavored Protein to Soups. Not the greatest but it worked....

Well first I'd have to ask if you were drinking it to fast. There are other forms of Protein intake that have high grams!

Try these forms of in take not the greatest tasting but if you're lactose intolerant these should work!!

I mix with soy milk or Water, extremely slow sips. I couldn't find the isopure when I was out but I will venture out tomorrow to find it. The Unjury brand had the same bad results (I had samples from my doctor)

I have a issue with whey Protein, it comes back up as well and the Isopure is whey. I had this issue when I had my band! I was thinking about trying soy until I saw this, lol. I'm a week out and not getting my Proteins in that much either, feeling tired a lot :( if you find something please share!!!

Are you lactose intolerant? Or is it just the why? And when you say you fell tired is that daily before workouts or just in general?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
