Gas after protein shakes?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved 10/2 and have has a pretty easy and uneventful recovery so far.

My first week was all clear fluids and then full liquids the second week. I have been starting my days with a premier Protein drink (which I drank post op w no problems). After I drink the shake I feel like my stomach fills with gas and I am very burpy and uncomfortable. The rest of the day continues like that and it is a struggle to get anything else in. It almost feels like I am all stopped up. And when I drink Water and have a yogurt or Soup it feels like it is all just sitting on top of the gas.

Has anyone else had this issue? How long did it last?

I'm going to try a yogurt for Breakfast tomorrow and see if that helps.

Are you mixing them in a blender? it can whip alot of air into them, Try a shaker or just mixing with a spoon. Also try to add more liquid.

I am still pre-op, but I had to stop putting mine in the blender, too. Major difference by shaking in a bottle.

Try to take a dairy digestive pill. I had that problem but I tried having that shake with those pills from equate and it was completely FINE. Not sure if it'll work for you, but it worked for me. Worth a try...

      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.
