I am 6 days post-op and I actually started to feel more like myself today, however, since I have been home I've had a really hard time with the chocolate Premier Protein shakes. I usually alternate so I'm not tired of one flavor but every single time I drink the chocolate one I have really sharp pains in the middle of my chest and then I will sometimes burp after. Has anyone else experienced this type of pain with the chocolate flavor? I am so sick of these Protein Shakes anyone have any other suggestions on a Protein they love? HELP!

Actually the chocolate one is the only one that doesn't bother me at all. Maybe after you're further along it wont cause you pain. Or you may just have to avoid it.

I definitely think I'd avoid it if it caused that reaction. My best suggestion at this stage is protein water--I was using one from Atkins called LIFT protein drink--I figured it counted as water as well as having 20 grams of protein per bottle. Much easier for me than the protein shakes. There are several other brands and you can find it online if not in a local store. Hang in there--you'll be on to other sources of protein soon and may have the shakes only for backup on days you need it.

My sis in law felt sick with the choco.. i don’t like the after taste , so i mixed with the vanilla premier and problem solve, taste so much Betta and it doesn’t give me that weird after taste. If vanilla is done .. i use strawberry cream premier .

I’m also drinking Protein2o but it only has 15 grams of protein.. I definitely have not been meeting my 64oz of fluids a day and it takes me hours to finish one protein shake. I’m just hoping since I’m so fresh from surgery it will get better. Miserable.. some days I ask myself “why did I do this?!” I know in the end my health will be better and I will live a longer and happier life
