Hi I am 2 weeks post op today and I am still on only Protein shakes. The Protein Shakes make me nauseous and now even the thought of a Protein shake starts making me nauseous. I have another 8 days of this, I don't know what to do.

Also getting so discouraged the first week I lost 16lbs and now I have not lost anything since that first week. I hope I am doing everything right.

Call your NUT and express how you are feeling. Are you on full liquids or Protein shakes ONLY?

If full liquids you'll most likely be able to do fat free yogurt and there are other Protein options, like Isopure drinks, that are protein but different enough to get you through it.

Again, call your NUT.

I agree, call the NUT.

You may be experiencing some lactose intolerance, which is fairly common after surgery, even if you didn't have it before.

Hang in there - it will get better, but you need to figure out what's going on first.

Sometimes they will change the Protein drink for you....I personally found them all disgusting and just fumbled through....every mouth full I gagged!!

Now I drink Syntrax nectar..Like it much better....

I agree with RJ (she's wise!) - you might want to try the nectar products.

this is the second Protein I have tried and I am using unsweeted almond milk which is lactose free. I am on 64 oz of Water and 4 Protein Shakes a day that are 8oz each.

I'm so tired of Protein Shakes, and my surgeon just added a third to my daily intake, ugh. I immediately ordered the Unjury starter pack. I've heard it's really good, so I'm hoping for the best!

I like the Unjury chicken Soup. It was the only thing that worked for me at times. I also really like Premier Protein from costco or Sams.

I am still getting nauseous with the Protein shakes but I had a sample of the unjury chicken Soup and it is really good so I ordered it and I am going to try the Premier Protein cause a lot of people have recommended that.

The Protein Shakes made me nauseous so I tried the Carnation Instant Breakfast mixed with Mootopia (a high Protein low sugar milk sold at Texas HEB stores). It tastes great and worked well for me.

      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.
