Hi!

I'm 2 days into my pre-op all liquid diet and I haven't been able to keep down the protein shakes without throwing up. I'm afraid maybe I'm allergic to an ingredient in the shakes. Has anyone else had this problem?

That's gonna be problematic. Talk to your group and figure out alternative options. Best wishes!

Someone in my nutrition classes had the same issue and i think the nutritionist said it could be the milk based protein shakes? I remember her suggesting some kind of protein water and any water vs milk based shake. Good luck!

Do you have any known food allergies? Peanuts? Are you lactose intolerant? There are non-dairy protein sources. When I was able to tolerant my protein replacement shakes (which was only during the post-op period), I preferred goat whey. After surgery, I can't stand my protein powder without some trickery (mixing unflavored protein powder with Greek yogurt. I can't even detect the powder in the yogurt.)

What protein powder are you using?

No, but I am on day 4 and let's just say liquid in liquid out. Not pee. Gross. Good luck.

I switched to Premier Protein powder and that seems to be helping! I'm just hoping the extended time without keeping the shakes down doesn't have any negative effect

Doing any better @kas 21? Please keep us updated.
