Im 5 weeks post op and Im now starting to get sick to my stomach when I have a protein drink..whats up with that? Even the thought of one gets my stomach in a fit..Is this a normal phase? I will be calling dr in morning but just like to know that if what Im going threw is just me or something that others have gone threw. I have been on them for 7 weeks and that includes 2 weeks post op, drinking 7 of them a day I believe...Please tell me this is all normal

I also got sick from protein drinks.  I didn't start until week 3 drinking them, and stopped having them daily in week 4, I went down to 1-2 a week only if I couldn't eat anything solid.  And they always made my stomach turn.  Even writing this is turning my stomach.  That is why I try and rely on food to get my protein, as the shakes get nastier and nastier.
Sorry, just my 2 cents.

I'm with you on the protein drinks :(

I tried them before surgery and was happy to find a few that I could tolerate.  Now, the idea of having to drink them makes me sick to my stomach.  I wish I could just guzzle it down to get it over with, but as you know I cannot.

I'm sorry

I got sick on them too. Now I've replaced them with Quest protein bars instead.

How do you make them?  If mixing with dairy you could have developed an intolerance.
