3day post op, the protein shakes are killing me.

[Ylm87 35]

Ive tolerated everything such as Water broth, Jello and Protein but I hate drinking the Protein Shakes. I find it too sweet now and it always take me more than hr to finish it. The thickness leaves behind a chalky taste and sometimes I have to wait a while to have another sip because I'm afraid that I'll start coughing. I coughed the other day and I swore I broke a stitch (I'm exaggerating) but it was definitely not a cool feeling.

I'm pre-revision but Protein Shakes I have trouble with too. They basically cause me to flush within minutes of drinking them.

(I'm banded looking into ds revision)

Wow I wasnt allowed to drink Protein Shakes until the solid liquid stage. Clear Liquids only until stage 2.

Get some unflavored Protein Powder and mix in with your broth. It was a lifesaver for me in the first few days post-op.

Thanks so much. I'll definitely look into it

Yea I use tripact from GNC. Preop I was able to handle the8 oz but now that I have to drink 4oz in an hr, it kills me. I'm going to find another one when I go to GNC. My taste buds def changed for that.

When did you get sleeved?
I've heard every doctor had their own instructions. In the hospital I was on clear liquids only but when they discharged me they told me to start my Proteins the next day along with clear liquids like Water, broth, Jello and SF ice pops.

I had my surgery on the 28th of April. They told me to follow the stages. First week clear liquids, 2nd week solid liquids, 3rd week pureed foods, 4th week regular meals.

I'm also having a very hard time with the protien shakes. They want me to get 5 ensures down! Yea right! So I switched to Unjury powder and fairlife milk. Much thinner and less sweet. I still have to push it down but it's much easier because I only have to have 3. 21 grams of Protein in unjury...another 13 with the fairlife milk. Tomm I get to start pureed stage hopefully after a phone call with the nurse. I'm 10 days out.

I hope it gets easier soon. Some other things to try, if they haven't been tried already.

Different temperatures. I still can't deal with things that are too cold. But some people only do well with cold.

Try a lactaid. Seriously. I chew them or let them dissolve in my mouth.

All the best

I think I'm going to try this fairlife milk, I've heard good things about it. Good luck on pureed stage. I've heard not to eat sweet potato, so just be careful eating that. I have to be 2 weeks on liquids before I can be advanced to pureed

I started to struggle with the dairy and thickness, so I switched to ones you could mix into Water like Syntrax Nectar which is 24g Protein per packet. I also have Protein2O 15g per bottle, the coconut is pretty good.

I had trouble with Protein Shakes so I use Protein Water. Its called Protein2o. They have a bunch of flavors and 15g of protein.
