Instant Nausea With Whey Protein..



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Nov 6. Prior to surgery I tasted probably 20+ whey powders and RTD, and did fine with my 2 weeks of shakes for pre-op diet. Now as soon as I drink one I get extremely nauseated (don't vomit but I NEVER vomit). It hits after a few sips and lasts about an hour. I have no other symptoms (gas, cramps, pain etc). I use milk, almond milk, or coconut milk and it makes no difference. I can drink plain milk without nausea so it has to be the whey.

Has anyone else had this happen? I'm on puréed foods now and still need shakes to get all my Protein in. I'm hoping that this will get better as I heal, I planned on still using shakes to supplement my protein in the future.

Me! The Protein I could tolerate pre-surgery is now a no go :( I've tried about a half dozen different kinds of powders and pre mixed shakes, then another half dozen clear Protein Drinks (ala Isopure). I recently got in some About Time whey that I have not had a single issue with as long as I don't make it cold. The smell is not as strong and it doesn't seem chalky to me at all. Another thing I found is that my stomach now hates cold things. This goes for shakes, which I used to make nice and ice cold. Now, it makes me sick.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
