Try to get a prescription from your doctor for phenegran. It's way cheaper than Zofran and works well.

You body may not like the whey or soy Protein in the Protein shakes. My stomach cramps with almost all the Protein mixes/drinks regardless if I mix them with milk or Water.

Phenegran is a great anti-emetic drug, but it can cause drowsiness. I was on Zofran, and while it is expensive, it saved me from being so sick all the time. My insurance covered the Zofran so I didn't care about the cost.

I'm not sure what food stage you are on, but try to isolate what is making you nauseous. Like tomorrow, try to only drink a certain liquid, or eat one type of food. Food/ingredient intolerances are very common. I dealt with them for a couple of months, and I had a hard time trying to figure out what was triggering my nausea. Luckily, I just stuck to one flavor of Crystal light, or one flavor of Jello some days to make sure my body could tolerate them. If the next day, I tried something new, and I felt sick, I quit eatinging/drinking it.

Go back to your surgeon! Don't self medicate or try to mask the symptoms - it's not worth the risk. The sooner you do the quicker you will find out if there's something more serious going on or not.

      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.

      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.
