protein shake intolerance

[maebme 17]

I am 3 weeks out and still can't keep a Protein shake or eggs down. Did anyone have this issue? Did it ever resolve? Thanks.

Yes. My Dr said many people have difficulty with eggs., especially scrambled. Try poached first then if not tolerated come back to it later.

I still cannot drink Protein shakes. They make me sick to my stomach. Try Protein Water, different shakes or unflavored Protein powder.

eggs never bothered me, but I definitely had issues with Protein shakes. When I first started, I just couldn't drink them period. No matter what time of the day, they would make me nauseous. As time went on, it got better. I am almost 5 months out now, and I still can't drink them in the morning. I usually drink mine at about 3pm. I use the Isopure unflavored Protein Powder and add it to my crystal light, etc.

How did you go with pain after the surgery or tightness in the chest?

No pain or tightness but in the first week, I couldn't keep Water down so they sent me home with TPN. Now I can do broth and clears but not much else and I am three weeks out.

What is a TPN?

[maebme 17]

It's nutrients that they give you through a pic line. It ran for 18 hours and I had to carry this big bag everywhere. It was not fun. I begged to be off it. No structure they could find, they did an endoscopy. So I guess my stomach is just being difficult

shakes don't sit well with me either... I'm trying out a lactose free version as I'm thinking it might be too much milk Protein that is giving me grief. eggs haven't been a problem thankfully! My surgeon and dietician aren't happy I'm not supplementing with a protein powder...

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get the Protein in! Good luck!
