I'm 4 weeks post op, and have been getting a good part of my protein everyday with whey protein drinks. I've tried several, but Premier Protein Chocolate is the only one I actually kinda like. Well two days in a row I got really nauseous while/after drinking the PP. So I tried a Think Thin Peanut Butter bar yesterday and got the same extreme nauseous feeling. So I'm thinking I have developed an intolerance for whey protein.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any alternatives that taste good? (I tried Amazing Grass Organic Plant Based Vegan Protein Superfood Powder, and it was truly vile)

Products are trial and error. What works for me may not work for you.

Protein bar...Are you on soft or real food stage? Can get protein in without the shakes and bars now? If so.... try to hit protein goals with real food.

One product to try - Not sure if you can tolerate or like is Isopure zero carb water. Hydration and protein all in one! If its a taste thing water it down.

160 calories zero carb and 40 grams protein.

People don't want to hear this but, Sometimes it's not the taste or what you like that's important. (as long as you are not throwing up) it's what keep you healthy to hit your protein goals. It is easier to find the healthy food choices you like as you progress from surgery.

Hope you find what works for you,

You really may want to try syntrax nectar. The flavors are excellent and it is lactose/gluten free. The Chocolate Truffle is decadent plus it is a much better quality protein than Premier is. I mix it with Fairlife Milk for about 36 grams of protein.

I get mine at Amazon.
