Not tolerating any protein supplement on clear, week one



Recommended Posts

My surgery was12/28, I had SILS and am blessed. So here at day 4 I am not getting enough fluids, but close. Definitely not getting 60gm of Protein. The supplements that I purchased make me so nauseated. I never had sweet tooth, now I can't take any of the favors. I vomited on day 2 after trying protein Jello, talk about scary.

I did tolerate a nectar, coconut flavor, but barely.

So I am going to keep on my broths, organic chicken was best, my fluids and just have to work on protein in week 2. Vomiting was scary and I don't want to do it again.

So I do have a few bottles of Isopure if anybody needs them. I know that many people don't mind the flavor, you can message me or email me .

So I have experienced hyper taste changes, and sensitivity to smells. Looking forward to full liquids in a few days

In the beginning it was difficult for me drinking Protein Shakes made with milk. I started making mine with 4oz milk and 4oz Water and tolerated it much better.

I'm 7 weeks post op. I throw up from sip one on every Protein Drink I have tried. My nut and dr had be start Protein Bars at 5 weeks. That has been much easier on my tummy. I eat 1/2 a bar in the morning and afternoon for my Snacks. It works well and let's me get MUCH closer to my Protein goals for the day.

Unjury has a Protein chicken broth which is nice and an unflavored kind you can add to miso or whatever broth you like. It gets easier when you can have full liquids and can add the unjury unflavored to cream based Soups.< /p>

Re:super smell....I suffered from that for about a week, but others said it lasted as long as 7 months! My taste was affected and I didn't like the protein powders I bought, so I switched to nonfat powdered MILK....I was told to add it to Soups, etc to boost protein. I was allowed "full" liquids immediately after I left the hospital. Not sure what your doctor told you to do.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
