Sudden Whey Protein Intolerance?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
