I'm six days post-op, supposed to be transitioned to full liquids and use Protein shakes to get at -least- 40g of protein in.

Right out the gate I took three sips of a Premier Protein shake and five minutes later felt like I was gonna die. Flushed in the face, shaking, salivating, nauseous, rapid heart beat...oh joy. It only lasted about half an hour, but it wasn't good for my confidence. There's only 5g sugar in the whole 11oz shake, so I thought maybe it was just that shake.

I can tolerate sugar free pudding ok now, so I tried mixing unflavored Protein powder into it. A few bites in and I felt bloated and nauseous. UGH! Such a gross feeling.

Finally I've tried the whey protein in Water. Aaaannndd...still felt sick from it. I'm going to call my doc's office tomorrow for their thoughts and ideas on it, but has anyone else run into this?

I think JP is a great choice after bypass since it helps with macronutrients too. I also take the capsules to get in all my fruits and veggies intake. I do blood next month so will see how or if it has helped in that way too. The protein powder has 15 g of protein so I boost it to over 20 with almond milk, chia seeds and or PB2 powder.

Great. Thank you.

So glad to see this post. I am 3 weeks post-op and I keep telling my husband that the Protein shakes causes my heart to race. I can only tolerate whey protein powder unflavored with lactose free milk. It causes my heart to race too but the only one I can tolerate since it has no taste.

Can you boost your tasteless shakes with fruit or PB2 powder? My Target has chocolate PB2 now.

How about the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken? It was all I could tolerate the first week post op.
