I use the Wheybolic Extreme Protein powder from GNC; I have never felt a sense of bloating with it. I only use 1.5 scoops per 8 oz of 1% milk, and tolerate it well.

Everyone is an individual, so we won't have the same experiences. But it is important to find a good quality Protein shake that you are able to tolerate.

Perhaps this is a topic to discuss with your surgeon or their staff...

Best wishes...

I also wonder if a lot of bloating just happens with the surgery, if you know what I mean- I've had more but not particularly associated with a particular thing that I've noticed. I use Unjury, and actually if I just have Protein Shakes I have less gas/bloating. I also agree with Carole to ask your surgeon. Good luck!

oh, and I don't mean just right after the surgery, I'm 5 months out and still have a lot of gas, etc- I think it has to do with not as much stomach to aid in digestion. This is my theory, not medically vouched for, LOL.

Thanks guys ....... I did ask the nurse at my Drs ofc and she suggested switching to different brand until I found something that didn't bother me......I also was reading that Protein Shakes mess w hormone levels and that could be causing the bloating.....gonna try Water instead of almond milk or reg milk and see how that does......really don't want to keep switching they are not exactly cheap. Thanks for the advice!

I don't do shakes I eat protein! I tolerated them when I had to.some tasted better than others.But I really didn't enjoy most of them at all.But the best ones I have had are pure Protein, and Atkins.< /p>
