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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
