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.1843401623_Iso100proteinwater.jpg.7d089e33ba3c84a8326469f8c9618037.jpg

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! 👍

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.< br>

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?

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
