Protein Shakes Make me Nauseous



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 days post-op, and until yesterday, I actually enjoyed the Protein Shakes. Now I get nauseous every time I have one. I've seen others say they couldn't stomach them, but what did you do instead? I can't think of anything to give me as much Protein. I've been drinking Unjury with skim milk which gave me 30 per shake. Help!

Truthfully I just didn't get much of any Protein for probably the first 7 weeks with the issues I had, I would say the only source of protein I did get was from string cheese. Once I was able to eat I just had sure to focus on protein first and everything after. My levels have been fine at each check up.

Greek yogurt is good for Protein. You can flavor it up with sugar-free syrups, a little fruit etc. Do you like Soup? I depended on strained Soups with unflavored Protein Powder added in. Unjury also has a good chicken soup flavored protein. I'm almost 3 months and just now starting to get grossed out my the Protein Shakes a little. I hate that because I really liked them in the beginning.

Yeah, they did for me too, and on the odd occasion I drink one at 9+ months out I still get a tad queasy after slugging one down. Just try another brand till you get one you can tolerate. I drink Boost! by Nestle because they are smaller than many of the canned varieties and the taste isn't too gawd awful bad. The other alternatives a few of which which have already been brought up is Greek yogurt ( sweeten / flavor with a sugar free drink mix like Crystal Light ) or Protein Shots - which are really nasty tasting but only 3ozs or less. Just keep trying till you find what works for you. After a few months, seems like at 6 months out for most, you can pretty much drop the shots / drinks and just eat real food.< /span>

      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...

        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.
