Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted July 27, 2019 Are you lactose intolerant? It may be that you are using whey Protein. Change the type of protein you are using. 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted July 27, 2019 I agree with the above poster. Lactose intolerance is not all that uncommon after surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,695 Posted July 27, 2019 No, I haven't had any problems. I still drink one every day even now 7 months post-op. I love the chocolate taste. I use premade GNC Lean shakes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted July 27, 2019 Try collagen based Proteins or a vegan Protein. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephanie0614 2 Posted August 2, 2019 I just cant do Protein Shakes anymore, I got burnt out on them by having to drink so much of them before and after surgery. My doctor said they wanted me to get my Protein from food vs shakes when I was released to eat anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindseeNohan 7 Posted August 23, 2019 For some reason I stopped pooping when I stopped drinking my shakes. I’m on soft foods and manage to get in 30-50g of Proteins a day but still no poop🙃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
