I've never had any adverse reactions to any of the Protein Drinks. I've probably tried at least a dozen (sometimes have to grab one from a gas station because warm Protein drinks = ewwwww). I've never gotten nauseous either. I started using them a year ago for Breakfast on recommendation of my nutritionist. I don't like eggs and she wanted me getting protein in the morning so it seemed like a good alternative.

I never experienced vomiting from consuming Protein shakes. From my discussion with many who took Protein Shakes before and after surgery, vomiting is not a common problem.

For me after surgery, my taste buds change as it does for many. Things that I could tolerate before tasted awful after surgery. So it is important to experiment until you find a shake you can tolerate.

I've been drinking shakes every day for over a year. Sometimes two a day. I have never gotten sick from them, and I've tried several kinds. Sometimes I encounter one I don't really like, or it doesn't sit well, but it's never made me physically sick.

I am four days out and I have been drinking clear Protein drinks. I tried a Premier Protein yesterday and it made my stomach hurt. I diluted it by half and tolerated it much better but still am sticking to clear Protein for a couple more days. I say listen to your body, if it hurts, don't drink the shakes and stick to clear protein. Good luck!

      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.
