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!

      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.
