Hey everyone I'm 6 days postop and was given the green light from my surgeon yesterday to start drinking protein shakes..in my case is the premier protein 30g of protien bottles. I have started to feel just a little bit better strength wise from drinking the small amounts of the shake BUT I get really nasty heartburn from them. I don't know what to do. I thought the heartburn was from the chicken broth I had yesterday but when I drank some of the shake today it gave me heartburn immediately. I've never heard of anyone getting heartburn from Protien shakes. Please HELP! any insight will be appreciated.

Ps. I never had heartburn prior to surgery only when I was pregnant...for reference

It could be acid reflux. I have experienced this as well. Try to take a Zantac 30 minutes to an hour before drink the premier protein. If it works, continue taking Zantac once of twice a day.

My doc put me on protonics for 3 months. Not much heartburn.
