Nauseated On Protein



Recommended Posts

Does Protein make anyone else nauseated. I can't eat but two bites of chicken before I want to barf. Beef is ok as well as eggs. The only Protein shake that I can stomach is the pure protein cans. But at 4 bucks a can that is expensive.

Is this normal and will it go away.

DOS: 10/3/12

I couldn't handle the Protein Drinks either. I've been trying to get my Protein in with meat, but yesterday I found GNC Total Lean Lean shakes they have 25 gr protein and they taste great and no nausea or vomiting. There lactose free. They come in powder and premade. I got the premade and they were on sale for 4/7.99. I would definetly check out GNC. Talk to someone who works there and I'm sure they will help you. I was going to get something else and after talking to the clerk he told me not to get the one I was going to get and to try the Lean Shakes. The shakes and the Quest Protein Bars are awesome.

right now even the total lean makes me sick. I have tried unflavored powder it tastes like fleishmans yeast. all the others are too sweet tasting right now to me. so I have been trying to eat more Protein but it will not be enough since my doc requires me to have 80+ a day

I even bought a couple bottles of the grape frost Isopure and those have a nasty taste. I know this is important but I don't know how to force myself to drink them

i am hoping this passes but I wasn't a big sweet eater to begin with and maybe that is why I can't stand these Protein Shakes that are way too sweet. I've even tried watering them down so to speak but no go. I get 3-4 ounces and can't do anymore. I'm just going to.have to try and eat my Protein instead for now. sure wish they would invent a protein chewable pill lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
