11 Days out and Nausea

[ButterflyBandita?? 0]

Hi Friends,

I had my surgery 11 days ago and have noticed on two occasions (after drinking too much Protein shake) a crazy wave a nausea - almost to the point where I feel like I'm going to pass out, kind of like having the flu. In both instances it seemed to subside in about 10-20 minutes, but maaaaaan!

I just want to check in and see if others have experienced this. Each time was immediately after a "meal" where I consumed an entire Protein shake (rather than half at a time).

thanks!

I can't even imagine downing an entire Protein Shake at 11 days out. I am 5 weeks out tomorrow and still have to split the costco Protein Shakes (small containers) into 3 servings. Maybe try to limit your intake to 2 oz - that's probably the size of your stomach.

I'm really struggling with the Protein Shakes. Which shakes do you buy from costco?

I actually did feel this kind of nausea a few times post surgery for more than a few weeks. It was only when I felt I consumed something my new tummy did not agree with. It could be your new tummy doesn't like the variety of protein supplement you are taking. I could also suggest trying another kind. This doesn't mean you'll need to waste what you have now either. You can try it again in another week or so and would likely be fine with it. Our new tummy's are very fickle, for sure!

Also, 11 days out you should still only be sipping your shakes at best. I suggest slowing down the volume, maybe drinking a little at a time and going back to it later. I was only able to take in tiny amounts at a time at less than 2 weeks out. A single serving shake could last me hours and hours. It does get better though!

Good luck
