I cannot tolerate the Protein Shakes. Everytime I drink some get so nauseated. I dont know if I am lactose intolerant or what. So, I am not getting much in. I have emailed my dietician, but have not heard back. I had surgery this past Thursday. Has anyone eaten a boiled egg smashed up real good this soon after surgery. I would get more Protein with that by far than I get with the shakes. Any advice would be appreciated......

I had a hard time eating an egg at a month out. It hurt. There are Protein Shots at Walmart. They have 24-27 grams Protein and they are only 3 ounces. The fruit punch was the best to me. Very very very cold, almost freezing made them easier to swallow. Still taste not so great, but it's a lot less to get down the 8-16 ounces of Protein Shake you can't stand. Good luck!

I drink the nectar fuzzy navel with Water when I am feeling like that! If you're in NE Oklahoma I would be happy to share since it mostly has to be ordered. ...I've seen it at GNC before

I was never able to drink Protein shakes. They made me gag and sick to my stomach too. I ended up making my own.

1 cup of milk 1%

3 Tbsp milk powder

to that you can add....

PB2 (powdered peanut butter)

Torani flavored Syrup

Also, you can eat plain nonfat greek yogurt which is full of Protein, add some sugar free torani syrup for flavor or a splenda

You can't eat an egg yet and should not try at this point....in my opinion. Of course, talk to your doc's office.

Hopefully your dietitian will get back to you soon,

In the mean time I would make sure you are most importantly getting liquids in. I would not recommend "eating" just yet, have you tried other Protein Shakes? sometimes its just about finding the right one...

I don't know about the shots that where mentioned above but you want to make sure that it is a quality Protein like "whey"

I had problems with every shake and powder you can buy over the counter, the only powdered shake I can use is by powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury

I love it. In the meantime you might try EggDrop Soup. I was allowed this, from the Chinese Restaurant. I just asked them not to use cornstarch. You can also make it your self, try doing a search for it.

If you order the Unjury, I love the strawberry Sorbet and the unflavored. The unflavored mixes very well in the chicken broth and many other things. I actual make SF chocolate pudding using that and Almond milk. If box calls for 2 cups of milk use 1 cup of almond milk.

Hope this helps.

I too like the injury unflavored. Another Protein Shake I was able to do is Herbal Life. It's a bit expensive but it mixes well with Water. Other people have tried it and couldn't believe it's Protein.< /p>

I had to omit the milk and made the Protein Shakes with Water. My nauseousness continued until last week. The past month I was sick with the flu that turned into pneumonia. So not sure if the last month nauseousness was from being sick or because of my sleeve. Hopefully you will get over this soon. :)

I love how Muscle Milk tastes, and it has NO MILK, according to the label. They sell it everywhere, in a single bottle. Maybe try that?

      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.
