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?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
