Protein frustration



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post. Same thing happened to me. It even happened with Water. Pretty much everything I had to swallow made me nauseous. My surgeon and staff told me it crucial to stay hydrated and because I was becoming dehydrated they recommended I not worry about Protein until I was hydrated. I had to put flavor in my Water.

I had to stop drinking Premier Protein and put journey's unflavored Protein powder in my broth and liquids. I had someone else mix /blend it so I couldn't smell it. Couldn't taste it. Focus on staying hydrated.

I ended up having a kidney stone and Constipation. Sucks when you already aren't feeling well. Good luck.

I'm almost a month postop and still have trouble with Protein shakes. Premier and Isopure both made me throw up. I gave up focusing on Protein and tried to focus on getting hydrated. Which I'm still struggling with by the way. Though I got 50 oz in today so....I'm doing better, somewhat.

Hi Everyone

Iʻm 7 days post op and I think Iʻm doing well. My only problem is the smell and taste of the Protein shakes make me nauseous so Iʻm not getting in my daily requirements. Iʻve tried EAS Protein and Isopure liquid juice. Has anyone has this problem? Any suggestions?

Bariatric Choice has a Protein liquid. I like the iced tea and pomegranate flavor. You mix it with Water do you can Water it down as much as you want.

      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.
