so my stomach still hates protein

[10/6/14 20]

I'm not sure what to do about eating. My stomach gets Protein Shakes. Anyways have probably always will. I get so queasy when I drink them. Does anyone else go through this? How do you eat? I'm 16 days out and hangry

I'm about 50days post op now and I can't eat any of the Protein shakes they make me so sick and its such a horrid feeling! powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes me nauseated and gives me diarrhea so bad that I just don't use it. I was prior to surgery eating Protein packaged items like Soup, drinks, etc and I've tried one here and there and OMG so sick!

I have tried bunches of different foods at this point it's incredibly tasking. Thankfully my doctor though he thinks I am an anomoly is patient and understanding.

I tried roast beef slices and it made be nauseated. We were making Snacks and such to go to the park. So I was took some of the roast beef and rolled it in a tortilla with cheese and sour cream and we baked them in foil rolls. When cooled to take to park. I ate a few bites and it was totally fine!

I tried baked and or slow cooked meat of all kinds and yep nauseated. I can however eat chicken nuggets and fries no problem. I can even eat cake. I have also been able to eat bread. Granted all the above in very limited quanities.

What I have discovered is that apparently no one can be put into a mold and the answer be apparent. I think I have an affliction for the prepared high protein items now I'm not surprised as I'm not real big on processed before surgery.

The unhealthy things I was able to eat my doctor thinks its the oil perhaps that is coating it that helps it all go down. Thankfully I'm pretty responsible so beyond having an absolutely incredible fustrating day I opt for something on the no no list.

Otherwise I discovered couscous works amazing! It's soft and goes down very easily. Cottage cheese is also working pretty good. I have been drinking bean Soup and eating hummus and bean chips. I also discovered pistachios they are softer and do well.

I was and have been very discouraged about not being able to eat the Protein Drinks and I've tried almost all kinds it seems the lower in sugar the worse my nausea. I have surrendered to them and have opted to try and find the protein elsewhere.

When nothing will work my best friend is cheerios and high protein milk! My doctor thought that was increidble!

I hope that helps a bit? I know when I discovered those expensive bottles of protein I bought weren't going to work I all but sat in the corner and cried. It's hard times!

At sixteen days what about cottage cheese? or mashed potatos I ate alot of until I reached near 3weeks.

I also have intolerance to Protein Shakes - whey Protein isolate. My NUT think it's because the protein is in such pure form it is so readily absorbed it actually irritates the lining of my intestines. I am going to but soy protein and going to check out some other health food stores. There are other protein sources such as an all vegetable alternative I saw at wlagreens yesterday and some from fermented brown rice. Lets keep searching. I am also considering taking my protein in very small doses throughout the day. A tablespoon at a time. Perhaps my body can tolerate it in small amounts mixed with other food/drinks. Worth trying.

Couscous is a form of Pasta, so it would be made with wheat and not have much besides carbs for calories. It can be combined with lots of good stuff, but the couscous itself is basically a tiny noodle.

How about scrambled eggs? I make mine with cheese and the tiniest bit of salsa for flavor.
