Omg I am almost 4 weeks post op

Sleeved on 5/12 and the Protein shakes make me so bloated and horrible gas

I was feeling great and last week I started getting bad pains on the right side , swelling and bad flatulence

I've narrowed it down to the protein so I kinda gave them a break but without them I'm struggling to get my protein in

I take my Ppi and idk what else to do

I can't even handle the seat belt when I'm driving

Time to check in with your bariatric team. They will have the answers for you.

I hope it's as simple as changing brands. I'm hope'n!

Be sure to post and let us know what your team tells you. We care and , YES--

we are nosey!!!

Prayers going up for you, Friend.

I'm guessing you are using milk to make your shakes. You might be lactose intolerant. Try making them with Water instead.

Sounds like lactose intolerance. What stage are you on - can you get your protein from food instead?

Try using lactate b4 drinking the shake

Maybe adding some benefiber to your protien shakes and chewing on some gas x tablets could possibly help. Definitely call your nutritionist or your surgeon's office to get the proper advice.

Try muscle milk. It's milk-free, has 25 hands of Protein, and 0 sugars.

Good things come to good people.

I use unsweetened almond milk (30 calories for 8 ounces). I could not tolerate milk because it made me nauseous and bloated.

Had the same problem with the shakes... bloating, " whale" calling gas, and the trots.... so talked with my NUT & traded the chocolate , vanilla, strawberry shakes for protein beverages lemon flav tea, cherry kooler and roadside lemon made with water ... its the lactose . It no longer likes me... twice a day I'm back to 70 protein plus additional 1liter Water...

I drink the premier Protein shakes and they do perfect for me no bloating or anything. Vanilla is very sweet but to me there chocolate one is the best. They also make strawberry and it's good as well. My surgeon suggested these to me and they are great! You can buy them by the case already mixed up or the containers of the mix. I have a store called SAMs where I get mine at, it's like a Walmart but you buy things in bulk. I'm not sure if you have one where you live but definitally give that type of shake a try if you haven't already
