Hi, I'm 7 days post op and I am having a really hard time tolerating the premier Protein premade drinks. They are so gross & Too sweet for me. I also think they are irritating my stomach. I wake up every morning with lose bowels. I know, I'm sorry TMI, but I didn't know who to ask? . Can anyone recommend another way to get my protein in besides the doctor approved protein yogurts? Maybe some that aren't so sweet, or clear ones, or lactose free ones that are clear? Thank you in advance

Does your surgeon not have you on omeprazole to help with reflux/reduce it for a bit? If not, ask them about it.

I highly recommend the vitamin patches. You can get them from the BariatricPal store, or you can get them from PatchMD.com. Either way both stores have them and they're great. I've been using them for about 6 months.

Did you try Atkins. I never liked the Premier even before my surgery. I'm 8 months post surgery & I drink the shakes ever now & then. After my surgery I was not able to tolerate any protein shakes. Just be patient.

I had a similar problem post op. Didn't mind the shakes before surgery but after they make me wanna vomit. My go to is 8-10 oz milk plus a scoop of GENEPRO flavorless protein (30 grams of protein). Mix and serve.

Thank you everyone! I got some Isopure and plain grass fed whey to mix into my meals. So far so good. Now if I can figure out how to stop the acid reflux we'll be set. This is all so weird and new to me. My nutritionist appointments were so vague and no body really filled me in on what to buy.

My surgeon put me on Protonix twice daily and my heartburn has completely disappeared. I would ask your doctor for something.

If you use Fairlife milk it has 13 g of protein for 8 oz. How are you doing on the patches? Have you had any follow up blood work

I didn't get my protein all in for q long time . Good luck ! Good news is this will probably all change . I hated everything for a few months( really almost everything - even waterl - but. Now it's a lot better . Do the best you can

I got so sick of those too. Try fairlife milk chocolate, 2tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup ice. Blend and it's awesome. Almost like a Wendy's frosty. Also, the Atkins strawberry shakes are ok - 15g protein. But all the pre made shakes get old fast. Good luck.

IMHO, if it is related to the bariatic surgery journey, there is never TMI.

. MY NEW FAVORITE SHAKE

I just switched to Fair Life. My suspicion is that the body can't absorb all the protein that I consume when mixing protein powder with the milk, but it can't hurt either.

Did they tell you to get calcium citrate? That normally helps with the acid in ur stomach. Hope you get better with that.
