Upset stomach while having protein shakes
RNY on 02/20/12
I am on my pre surgery diet (2/20) and I am getting nauseous and upset stomach drinking my protein shakes. I am supposed to have 2 a day, then a low carb dinner. I am having trouble getting one down. I can't get out of the bathroom. Anyone have any thoughts?
Are you mixing them with milk? Try mixing them with water.
Try a different brand.
Do you know what about it is upseting your stomach? Is it the taste, the smell, or something else?

I am having them with milk, though I have never had a problem with milk before. I will try water.
I like the taste, smell and everything about them. Today and last night are the first time I have not felt good. I don't even know if its from the drink or not, I might just have a stomach bug.
Thanks!

If you don't like the way your shakes taste with water (and that helps the nausea) try mixing them with soy milk or rice milk.
I can't mix my protein pwd with water, the taste and consistency is just gross to me. But mixing it with even 1% milk had me constantly
. But, soy milk has solved my problem!

You might also try making them with unsweetened almond milk. I keep that, and unsweetened soy milk on hand - they both come in handy for mixing protein shakes or adding into other beverages. I also dissolve protein in them while cold, and slowly mix them into hot beverages to boost the protein in them when I can.
