What happens when the protein shakes don't agree with you post-op?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 days post-op, and although I advised my nutritionist and doctor that I had issues with dairy products, including eggs, I was still advised to used the whey Protein until I start my pureed diet. I don't think I'm getting the protein because it comes right back out, if you know what I mean. I switched to the soy Protein Powder and even though I can keep it down, it still gives me a slight rumble in my tummy. Any other suggestions? 2wks is a long time to struggle with this issue, I need protein.

How about mixing it with almond unsweetened milk or coconut unsweetened , I even added PB2 and it helped I'm not gagging or getting nausea from it with milk , also u can try Isopure , or Unjury maybe change the brand

I'm sure you are mixing your powder with something you can tolerate, like Water or soy milk. I've added non flavored Protein to Soups. Not the greatest but it worked....

Well first I'd have to ask if you were drinking it to fast. There are other forms of Protein intake that have high grams!

Try these forms of in take not the greatest tasting but if you're lactose intolerant these should work!!

I mix with soy milk or Water, extremely slow sips. I couldn't find the isopure when I was out but I will venture out tomorrow to find it. The Unjury brand had the same bad results (I had samples from my doctor)

Are you lactose intolerant? Or is it just the why? And when you say you fell tired is that daily before workouts or just in general?

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
