Protein Shakes making me ill!



Recommended Posts

Started my liquid diet today. My surgery is August 13th!! I have tried my Protein Shakes now 3 times (all different days), and every time I feel very nauseated. I talked to the nutritionist today and she suggested I try soy or eggwhite Protein. Going to try that out tonight. I don't know if I could deal with that feeling all the time. Ugh! First real disappointment in this whole process. But a major disappointment. Has anyone else had that type of reaction to protein shakes?

It is probably the fake sugar it is what did it for me. Luckily the dietician let me mix in milk and do slim fast. So what I did was get a vanilla Protein Powder with like 2 grams of sugar the lower the better because after surgery the sugar needs to be low. So anyways the chocolate slimfast over powers the other powder. I also got unflavered Protein powder and mixed it with gatorade(G2) it is very low in calories and wasn't too bad not great but not bad either. See if any of this flies with your doc. Also with the vanilla powder(i can get the name if you want) I mixed it with OJ and it tasted like a creamiscle, I also put bannana with it and it over powers the powder and it is a bannana smoothie, as mix in frozen fruits(this one is only before after I couldn't because of the seeds). All of these I was able to mix with milk which was my saving grace I hated the Water and protein powder mix. Yuck!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
