Gagging on protein shakes! Need new taste ideas

[Beckbean49 0]

Hi. I had sleeve done on12/29! Am so happy to have it done. Have waited 10 years to have weight loss surgery and finally got it done. I am in week 4 post op and the puréed food phase. I know I need my Protein but can't seem to drink them without getting nauseous. Am doing ok with other foods and am drinking plenty of Water. Should I change brand of protein? I use the Bariatric Advantage and the mornings are the worst. Please help with ideas or tips. All greatly appreciated!!

Did your doctor give you a scrip for zofran or other anti nausea drug? if so give it time to work in the morning before drinking a shake.

I personally like the Premier Protein shakes .. I started drinking them on my own three weeks ago while I wait for my insurance approval 30g of protein.. 5g of carbs and 1g of sugar !! ( they were recommended by the nutritionist as a post op shake but I wanted to get used to the taste beforehand )

...I drink one for Breakfast and one for lunch ... It was gross the first couple of times but now it tastes like chocolate milk if you shake it well

Hope that helps!

p.s. costco is having a sale packet of 18 for $18.00 until mid February

Thanks for the info. No I haven't gotten a script for nausea but can ask. Thanks for the suggestions of the Premier Protein. You are the second person who recommended that to me. I will definitely try it.

Is nausea common in the first few weeks??

I agree with the Premier. It's been a lifesaver. I also have trouble drinking and eating early in the morning so I typically don't start eating until around 11:00 a.m. It made all the difference. Lastly, try greek yogurt Has the same 30 grams of Protein in it and you can even add a little sugar free Syrup to change up the taste. Good luck!
