Sudden Whey Protein Intolerance?



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks post op, and have been getting a good part of my Protein everyday with whey Protein Drinks. I've tried several, but Premier Protein chocolate is the only one I actually kinda like. Well two days in a row I got really nauseous while/after drinking the PP. So I tried a Think Thin Peanut Butter bar yesterday and got the same extreme nauseous feeling. So I'm thinking I have developed an intolerance for whey protein.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Any alternatives that taste good? (I tried Amazing Grass Organic Plant Based Vegan Protein Superfood powder, and it was truly vile)

Products are trial and error. What works for me may not work for you.

Protein bar...Are you on soft or real food stage? Can get protein in without the shakes and bars now? If so.... try to hit protein goals with real food.

One product to try - Not sure if you can tolerate or like is Isopure zero carb Water. Hydration and protein all in one! If its a taste thing water it down.

160 calories zero carb and 40 grams protein.

People don't want to hear this but, Sometimes it's not the taste or what you like that's important. (as long as you are not throwing up) it's what keep you healthy to hit your protein goals. It is easier to find the healthy food choices you like as you progress from surgery.

Hope you find what works for you,

You really may want to try Syntrax Nectar. The flavors are excellent and it is lactose/gluten free. The chocolate Truffle is decadent plus it is a much better quality Protein than Premier is. I mix it with Fairlife Milk for about 36 grams of protein.

I get mine at Amazon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
