3.5 weeks post op and can’t stomach protein drinks

[Letsgetgoing2018 448]

Hi all. I was sleeved 7/10 and am now in the puréed phase. Up until a couple of days ago I relied on Premier Protein drinks to help achieve my Protein intake goals for the day but yesterday all of a sudden I can’t tolerate them. I feel nauscious and like I can’t drink them. Has this happened to anyone else?

Same here, I drank premier the first 3 weeks then I had to stop. Premier has milk Protein concentrate. I switched to muscle milk it is milk protein isolate. I called my nutritionist before the switch and she said this is very common for someone to become somewhat intolerant to milk products . I also tried evolve it is a pea protein soluble not as tasty as muscle milk but did not upset my stomach.

Hi Aaron. Where do you get your muscle milk from?

Hi Aaron. Where do you get your muscle milk from?

Bulk at costco and 4 paks at Walmart. Be careful with muscle milk some of there products like powders can also be milk Protein concentrate. I would just by a 4 pak to see if you can tolerate them. Walmart also has the New Whey Protein Shots.< br>

Shake-It makes a great raw Pea Protein mix. If you blend it with Six Six star plant based berry flavored mix (found at Walmart or Amazon) it is a great break from the heavy chocolate and vanilla creamy Protein Drinks and has no whey/milk at all. I use Shake-It raw pea mixed with Shake-It Cafe Latte every morning. Tastes nothing like Cafe Latte BUT it's not a yucky flavor. And my body can no longer handle any kind of whey/milk Liquid Protein. Not since the second after surgery in May.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

I only have one container of my Svelte French Vanilla left. I like the taste, it's not as sweet and I don't taste the soy base. The bad news , I can't find anymore of it and the Protein count is lower. But it never has given me any indigestion m Maybe I had better go on their website and find out if anyone else sells it.🍶

Well it seems it is at Giant Eagle, Vitamin Shoppe, Walgreens . The bad new not a one of them in my town , closest place is 30 miles away. I can get them from Amazon orOnline Wal-Mart but not in my local one. I'm a live shopper not an "onliner". if I was that I would have patronized the Bariatric Pal Store before now!

I just got a vegan Protein Powder at GNC because I was having the same problem. One day I was fine and the next I was almost doubled over from stomach cramps after having a few drinks of my shake. From what I've read you can develop lactose intolerance after surgery. I'm hoping it is not permanent, but I haven't had any trouble so far with these vegan shakes that aren't milk based. They are super expensive though so I'm looking for a better deal on Amazon.

I've had so much luck with Shake-It Pea Protein mixes. Their raw pea is the best I've tried. And I've tried several. It's the cleanest, least gritty, more plant than earth tasting I've found. And they don't get muddy when mixed. some really turn to an almost clayish consistency on the bottom of your cup after a while.. Especially since you can put them in a blender and they do not get frothy or airy/whipped. Big plus. I make all my shakes with Water, too, since there's just no room for extra richness and too much creaminess is just YUCK, right now.

Oddly, my body is okay with a whey Protein Bar every now and then. Go figure.
