I'm 9 days post op today. 20 pounds down in all (which is including my pre op diet). But I'm having I really hard time keeping my Protein down. I'm getting my 64 oz of fluids in without a problem but the protein makes me sick. I MAY get in 30 grams a day. I've tried Matrix, premiere protein and a few others. Is any one else having this problem? I am worried to death over not getting enough in.

Thanks!!

How much Protein is your plan asking you to have at Day 9 post-op? On mine, it is 30 grams. It goes to 40-50 grams beginning at Day 15. (That being said, plans are wildly different. One person posted theirs on another thread and mine is WAY more conservative than what he posted.)

The point of what I am writing is that your 30 gram intake doesn't seem so bad for where you are right now.

Good luck!

@@Danielle893 Have you tried any of the powders with milk? I'm drinking Bariatric fusion powder with skim milk (pre-op) and it's very good. Also - try some of the Protein drinks like Isopure, Syntrax Nectars, Atkins Lift, etc. You can also add unflavored Protein Powder to liquids. Just keep trying something different until you can tolerate it. Good luck.

Have you tried different sources of Protein? For example, perhaps plant based protein will be more agreeable with your system right now.

I had the same issue. I was not able to tolerate whey or whey isolate. The only thing I was able to keep down was Growing Naturals brand rice Protein or egg white protein. The rice protein is a little grainy ans rhe egg white protein makes thigns foamy so it is a bit of a tradeoff.

GENEPRO unflavored mixes very well in beverages. I use it in hot tea. Just make sure the temperature is under 140 or it gets nasty clumpy
