Horrible Gas From Protein Shakes!!! HELP



Recommended Posts

Ok I need some advice. While I am waiting for insurance approval, I am trying out different Protein Shakes & am EXTREMELY GASEY!!! Is it just me or is everyone keeping quiet about this embarassing matter?? I have only tried the premixed shakes so far- could that be the problem??? HELP

Some people (me included) have trouble digesting the whey Protein that is in many shakes which results in a lot of gas. You might want to try a lactose free shake (Muscle Milk Light or GNC Isopure) and see if that helps.

Try the MUSCLE MILK LIGHT. You can get prices of ebay. That's the best way to go.

Try a soy Protein shake mixed with Water or with almond milk.

If you use the almond milk, make sure to buy the unsweetened or it defeats the whole purpose of the shake. Ditto for soy or rice milk.

thanks for this information. I have been preparing for my pre-op and this is great information for someone like me that is lactose intolerant sometimes.

You're welcome. I also mixed my Protein Shakes using soy milk to further reduce the lactose. Also, you may find that your lactose intolerance gets worse after surgery...it happens for some people.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
