protein shakes causing vomiting

[katt1584 46]

Has anyone else had this problem? I've been drinking Protein Shakes for about 4 days and all of a sudden I've developed an intolerance. I tried to have a little sugar free pudding the other day and felt the same nausea. Could I be lactose intolerate? Also what do I do now to get my Protein?

I couldn't handle them after surgery... I would either barf or be on the verge all day if I drank them. I did liquids and Soups with surgeons permission. First few weeks you are fine without Protein if you can not handle it my surgeon told me. I would sprinkle Jay Robb unflavored egg Protein into my Soup or apple sauce etc.

Also, I'm allergic to milk and do egg Proteins. Can also do rice Proteins. Don't do whey or milk based if lactose. A lot of people have issues after with the Protein shakes.

I love Syntrax Nectars. I mix them with Water and add a crystal light individual packet to boost the flavor. Fuzzy Navel (CL orange classic) and Lemon Tea (with CL peach mango tea) are the two I'm drinking now.

I also mix powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury strawberry sorbet with Water and add some crystal light.

I just did a test and it looks like it's all liquids that are making me nauseous. Il have to focus really hard to not vomit even after Water

When was your surgery? Do you have any anti-nausea meds left? Are you drinking fluids at room-temp or body-temp (vs cold or hot)?

Katt, you are only 1 week out so it could be anything. You need to call your doctor. If you were able to drink the Protein Shakes prior to surgery than it is not lactose intolerance. If all liquids are making you sick then it is possible you will soon be dehydrated. You may need an IV infusion to give you fluids and make you feel better. Either way, please call your doctor and let him/her determine the real reason. Good luck.

One thing my pre-surgery class instructor said is that vomiting begets dehydration which makes nausea worse.... And if you're just in your first week your poor stomach needs a break! Def check in with your doc!

Called the answering service and the doctor sent me to the ER for fluids and X rays

GOOD!!! Hang in there, Katt!!

Looks like I've got some obstruction in the top of my stomach. ..did a swallow test (ew) that determined that. They admitted me to make sure I could get the fluids I need and tomorrow I will see the doctor for an endoscopy to see what's causing it
