Anyones protein shake give them indigestion?



Recommended Posts

What kind was it?? Did it have lactose? And what have you been using pre and post surgery??

I find the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Proteins leave an after-taste which is nasty, so I go with whey Protein isolate powder mixed in Water (and it IS yummy!) So many flavors to choose from...

I'd say don't give up--keep trying different ones until you find the one that's right for you--this IS for the rest of our lives, girlfriend! :confused:

There are SO many to choose from.

For me, the Unjury is great and I do not experience an aftertaste.

It is different for everyone.

On previous tries with Protein powders/mixes/drinks I notice I cannot have any with the sweeteners which are stripped down sugar alcohols: any of the ose's sucralose etc. Also maltodextrin, maltitol, mannitol etc cause me upset. Splena kills me.

The unjury has aspartame in it. I was a diet coke "addict" for years so the aspartame doesnt bother me.

If they have samples of the drinks youwant to try I would suggest getting them first. By volume they do cost more but you save so much not having bought the whole container just to not enjoy it.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
