Hey everyone. I'm 13 days post op I am doing good with my Soups and Water but can't drink the premier Protein shakes. They gross me out and make me feel really bloated. Does anyone else have that problem or drink something else?

I also use GENEPRO Protein. It's odorless and tasteless and you can put it in almost anything. I ordered it off Amazon. The nutrition information says that one scoop is 30 grams of protein because of the way the body absorbs it.... But I only count it as 15 grams

Also I have found that for me, putting the premier Protein Shakes over ice helps me drink it better because it's not as thick when some of the ice melts.

If they make you feel bloated you might be Lactose Intolerant. I did Premier drinks 2 weeks proop and 4 weeks postop. It gave me the back door trots so bad I couldn't leave the house without a pad on. TMI I know but so very true!! My PA told me after I was almost done with my postop that I was more than likely Lactose Intolerant. I also use GENEPRO. It is great stuff. And it is made by a VETERAN. So we get to support them too. Lots of peeps become Lactose Intolerant after their WLS.

The Primier Protein Shakes makes my stomach hurt and makes me nauseous. I order some unflavored genpro today. I am on the preop diet and will have surgery Friday, November 18th.

I can't do Protein shakes. They just aren't close to anything I found palatable and are too many oz for me to get it over with. I get my Protein elsewhere, unflavored Isopure added to Soup, pudding, yogurt, etc.

I agree the premiere shakes are gross. I use the Unjury powder mostly the unflavored. A scoop in 4-6 oz of unsweetened cashew (rice, soy, almond) milk gives you about 21gr8 Protein and under 125 calories.

I'm ten days out, I'm not crazy about those shakes, but I've been able to make my own using the Protein powder, fair life skim milk, frozen fruit or one banana, ice, then blended. Much yummier. I can only drink half the shake, then I have a cream of chicken Soup, that's all. The rest of the day I have Water. I'm just too full for anything else.

Premier is my favorite but you need to try different Protein Shakes to make sure you are getting your Protein in. Many people use GENEPRO, my doctor doesn't recommend it but you just have to try to find something that works.

Our bodies won't heal without protein. I started shakes on day 5 and many of them were gross to me. I have a hard time getting even 30 grams of protein a day in. When I went to my one week follow-up my surgeon fussed in me. He says your sleeve won't heal without at least 60-70 grams of protein a day. It also helps you keep your hair.

I don't want a hole in my stomach or all my hair to fall out for I get my protein now.

Careful with that banana. Even one has a bunch of carbs and my dietitian advised me to strongly avoid them.

I did, it was the milk in it that made me bloat and have smelly gas. I use isosource now and have no problem

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
