Nauseated after protein shakes



Recommended Posts

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???

Are you lactose intolerant? If you try almond milk with your Protein Powder. Are you drinking only one shake a day? Sounds like not enough. Call your nutritionist or surgeon and check in with them.

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've read on other boards that your body can't absorb more than 30g of Protein at a time. So one scoop with soymilk is putting you at 26 per shake without the second scoop.

You should try spreading your calories out during the day to keep your body fueled...not trying too get in all your protien at once.

Hope you feel better!

I also was nauseated from some Protein Shakes I got from GNC. I bought them & returned them in the same day. I was nauseated for several hours after drinking them. I ended up drinking Adkins shakes (don't like dark choc but do love the shake). I have been able to tolerate Muscle Milk but it doesn't taste as good as either if the chocolate Atkins shakes. Only down side is they are only 15 grams Protein.< /p>

      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...

        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.
