katt1584 46 Posted February 22, 2014 Has anyone else had this problem? I've been drinking Protein Shakes for about 4 days and all of a sudden I've developed an intolerance. I tried to have a little sugar free pudding the other day and felt the same nausea. Could I be lactose intolerate? Also what do I do now to get my Protein?

mamaplumlee 58 Posted February 22, 2014 I couldn't handle them after surgery... I would either barf or be on the verge all day if I drank them. I did liquids and Soups with surgeons permission. First few weeks you are fine without Protein if you can not handle it my surgeon told me. I would sprinkle Jay Robb unflavored egg Protein into my Soup or apple sauce etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamaplumlee 58 Posted February 22, 2014 Also, I'm allergic to milk and do egg Proteins. Can also do rice Proteins. Don't do whey or milk based if lactose. A lot of people have issues after with the Protein shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HHHappy 225 Posted February 22, 2014 I love Syntrax Nectars. I mix them with Water and add a crystal light individual packet to boost the flavor. Fuzzy Navel (CL orange classic) and Lemon Tea (with CL peach mango tea) are the two I'm drinking now. I also mix powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury strawberry sorbet with Water and add some crystal light.

katt1584 46 Posted February 22, 2014 I just did a test and it looks like it's all liquids that are making me nauseous. Il have to focus really hard to not vomit even after Water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elfnow 277 Posted February 22, 2014 When was your surgery? Do you have any anti-nausea meds left? Are you drinking fluids at room-temp or body-temp (vs cold or hot)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted February 22, 2014 Katt, you are only 1 week out so it could be anything. You need to call your doctor. If you were able to drink the Protein Shakes prior to surgery than it is not lactose intolerance. If all liquids are making you sick then it is possible you will soon be dehydrated. You may need an IV infusion to give you fluids and make you feel better. Either way, please call your doctor and let him/her determine the real reason. Good luck.

elfnow 277 Posted February 22, 2014 One thing my pre-surgery class instructor said is that vomiting begets dehydration which makes nausea worse.... And if you're just in your first week your poor stomach needs a break! Def check in with your doc! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katt1584 46 Posted February 23, 2014 Called the answering service and the doctor sent me to the ER for fluids and X rays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katt1584 46 Posted February 23, 2014 Looks like I've got some obstruction in the top of my stomach. ..did a swallow test (ew) that determined that. They admitted me to make sure I could get the fluids I need and tomorrow I will see the doctor for an endoscopy to see what's causing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
