Hi, I’m new to this forum and am 12 days post op gastric sleeve. I’m really struggling with the protein shakes and unable to keep them down.
I am on anti nausea meds and it does seem to help for a short time, but then I’m right back to the nausea and just overall feeling uncomfortable.
Right now my nutritionist and I are working on keeping me hydrated.
Anyone else having trouble or ever had these issues? Suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I couldn't do shakes for a couple weeks after surgery. I drank the protein water. There's quite a few to choose from. Isopure is one. I just bought these from Amazon and they have 40 grams of protein.

Thanks so much for the suggestion... I’m trying to stay away from protein shakes at this point and focusing more on staying hydrated. Spoke to my surgeons assistant yesterday. Concern was me possibly having to come back in to ER for iv fluids. Luckily I was able to get Pedialyte and Gatorade in me and was able to keep it down.
I recently ordered the protein gummies on this website and should be getting them tomorrow. Hopefully that goes well! ?

Do these protein waters have taste?

Haven’t tried the protein water yet. But the protein teas (peach, that I bought from this site) isn’t so bad. I tried it for the first time today.

Are you feeling any better now? I am 5 weeks out, and can hardly keep water down. I am hoping the nausea gets better, as I am miserable right now.

And I just posted to Sheribear how miserable I have been all day, upchucking and dry heaves, and the durn nurse who returned my call, told me To go talk to a Bariatric Social Worker, I ha ave not gone wacky - woo, today I am physically ill! 8 months of trying to be a Good rule-following Elf and this the response I get? Just ate or rather drank the broth off of WonTon soup, by now not over-enamoured of chicken-based broth but lightest thing I could think of. Will it remain in me? Guess I'll wait and see,usually within 15, 30 minutes tops, it re- emerges, only slightly worse for wear. At this point, I would actually relish an IV instead of something P.O, Maybe after I get some rest I will feel better tomorrow.

It's protein Water, not shakes.

Sent from my SM-J337T using BariatricPal mobile app

And I can testify, the protein waters stay down a lot better, remember to take teeny tiny sips, like you were at a Doll Tea Party. And the Protein2-0 and the others, they really are pretty pleasant tasting. Only ones I found that I disliked was Bai, somebody told me they were good- well Justin Timberlake- their commercial spokesperson can have them, in fact if he were to give me an address, I'll ship them to Him!?

Are you feeling any better? I am almost 8 weeks out and I still feel awful. Can’t eat or drink much of anything without throwing up. They have ran multiple tests and just keeping saying it takes time for you body to heal. I feel nauseous even when I am not eating or drinking. I just want to not feel bad. I have also had horrible acid reflex, which I never had before sleeve. Anyone had that, and does it ever get better?

I am feeling same exact way, plus I can't sleeep, my mouth feels like a dessert when I sleep.

And I miss, when I wake up,the ability to drink enough to make this dry sensation to disappear. Maybe someday it will solve itself?
