What surgery did you have?

At over seven months out, it would seem unlikely that Protein is the source of your symptoms. Lactose intolerance would likely have surfaced long before now. How long have you been experiencing the nausea?

I had this issue so my dr took me off Protein shakes and I am getting my Protein by food. This was early on for me it started within my first two weeks post op .

I reckon that it's easy enough to test - stop the shakes for a week or two and see if the nausea subsides. If it does, we have the answer. If not, probably a good idea to call the Big Kahuna (surgeon) and get his/her thoughts.

There is absolutely no question that getting all of your nutrients, including Protein, is always best from eating real food. The problem for us wls folks is that can be a real challenge given the greatly reduced amount we can eat. Please keep us posted on your progress!

I am 11 months post-op. I bottomed out on weight loss at 6 months. As the volume increased in my meal plans, I was able to pull almost half of my Protein from my meals. This allowed me to be a little creative on my Protein supplements. I transitioned from protein shakes to a large cup of hot cocoa ("no sugar added" Nestle) in the morning and a berry smoothie in the afternoon.

I agree with everyone on stopping your Protein shakes for a week and get your Protein from foods. Be sure to weigh and measure your Proteins to intake From time-to-time I track my calorie and protein intake on My Fitness Pal.

Best to you!

Some programs don't allow Protein Shakes after a few weeks. I only get them week 1 and 2 then I'm done forever. All my Protein has to come from food.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
