I'm having so much pain it's my second day I could only do Water I regret it so much . Does it get any better ?

Sent from my SM-A516U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi, I am 4 days out now and every day is a little better than the previous one. If you doc gave you pain meds, take those. Don't try to white knuckle it. I think I only had Water my first two days. Then I tried warm chicken broth and that went down a lot easier than the water.

Hope you feel better asap.

I'm only 10 days out from VSG and it really does get a little better every day. Plain Water hurt worse that one of the Gatorade zero type drinks - not sure why. As everyone else will tell you, sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk! Good luck - you've got this!

I didn't have that much nausea so I can't answer that. I wouldn't think so. Did your Dr. not give you something for nausea? I am so sick of Protein Shakes so I can sympathize. I end up drinking more of the Protein waters. But, I have been using my Ninja Bullet to make more of a milkshake. I use Isopure (flavorless) Protein Powder, unsweetened almond milk, ice and then flavor it using sugarfree flavorings. It really makes it much easier for me to get them down. I'm sorry you are still dealing with nausea even after 2 weeks. Maybe reach out to your Dr. for advice.

Thank you for the advice. I will try making my own shakes. It seems like I get nauseated after forcing down the terrible Protein Shakes. I’m still in the liquid stage and I must get in at least 80 grams per day.

Lots of us have nausea, We have smaller stomachs but still have the same amount of stomach acid inside. You need the correct amount of nausea meds for you. I still need mine twice a day and have to watch for eating too late because of GERD.

You can let your shakes down with milk or Water, heat or cool them. Just find what is acceptable to your stomach and does not go against anything your team advocates. I was able to make my own shakes with milk, milk powder, fruit and sugar free Peanut Butter.

I discovered that I am sensitive to whey Protein. After I figured that out, I have been much less nauseated. I also have an aversion to sucralose. So, the nutritionist pointed me to Orgain products. Good luck. Try experimenting to see if trying other types of protein and sugar substitutes are easier for you.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
