Protein water

I had my bypass surgery on the 12th this month and I've started to drink the protein water I could tolorate it before surgery and now I can't. I also cannot tolorate any of the milk or powder I'm very worried to get malnourished I don't know what to do.

Are you vomiting or do you have an upset stomach? You may want to call your dietician for options and malnutrition concerns

I'm not vomiting I just get the upset stomach where it hurts and feel like I'm gonna vomit so I stop because I don't wanna cause any damage because my surgery is so fresh

Are you drinking slowly? taking small sips then setting it down?

Yes that's all I do is sip I fill the 1oz cup they give at the hospital and I take sips from there and after every sip I wait about 5 min and it turns my stomach to where if I keep going I'm going to throw up

What brand are you drinking? Before my surgery I was trying out Premier Protein Water, with no problem. However AFTERWARDS, I couldn't stand it! I found it to be much too sweet. I had to split the bottle & mix it with equal parts water.

I found Protein 2O, which I find to be much better. The Grape & Berry flavors are my favorite. I don't care for the pineapple/coconut one as much. I get them from Rite-Aid.

Perhaps a different brand might help.

Protein 20 is what I tried along with the primer. Then the milky shakes and a few different powder ones. They all don't sit right with me. I've spent so much money on different things that I don't know anymore.

I don't like the milky shakes & powders either. I'm sorry you're having a hard time finding something that works for you.
