First of all I want to let you know that I had surgery last Thursday. Right after surgery I was put on a full liquid diet by my surgeon. I didn't have to do Clear liquids. I was asked to start my Protein supplements right away. I was having terrible nausea every morning since surgery and it would get remarkably better in the afternoon. I thought I was possibly taking in to much liquid at once so I broke up my Protein shake so I drank half in the morning and half in the evening and i was literally nauseated ALL DAY. Now today I had a meeting this morning and didn't want to be sick so I didn't drink it this morning and I feel like 100 percent better. I am going to try to make a shake with only one scoop of powder this afternoon and dilute the protein because maybe that's causing the issue however im struggling. I know i need the protein and I know that im sick after drinking it.......So far I have two brands GNC sells that has 20gm of protein per scoop. Anyone with this similar issue or any suggestions for me???

I feel terribly sick after the shakes to.....tried two different brands with the same result.

I am now six days post op. I have the pains in my shoulders still to. I also get nauseated after my protein shakes. I dont know what to do...I know I cant avoid them forever. Ive tried two different brands with the same luck. I feel great if i dont drink those shakes....

I lost 14 in ten days

I have been using soy milk for one...I am wondering if im putting to much protein in one shake....each scoop has 20 grams and i only need 60. I was just trying to compound it in one drink because ill admit shakes are not my favorite thing. I see my doc tomorrow so Ill talk then...I might try a shake tonight with just one scoop of powder....I am just not looking forward to it...This is the bset ive felt since surgery.

I used optifast 800 by medifast for my pre op diet...if all there products are like that all I can say is TERRIBLE.

Take responsibility for your own health. If you have a fever call your doc . They see a lot of patients and cant check up every single time. Mine did check up and I missed the call. I have been nauseated in the morning pretty bad. Nothing seems to help. Other than that I guess its been alright.

I would just do whats ordered. I am two days post op and let me tell you its very hard to get in calories and your body needs nutrients to heal. Im very tired and very nauseated and do not feel like eating at all....
