Protein shakes after a hiatus make you icky?
I've been trying to get my protein from food the past week or so and I just can't eat enough to do it so I'm back on the shakes.
Strange thing, and I've noticed this in the past as well, when I'm off the shakes for a bit then get back on, they really kill my stomach.
I'm just sipping on a 1 scooper (before I was drinking a 1.5 scoop in milk in about 15 minutes) and have been for a while and my tiny tum is NOT PLEASED.
Do you think it has to do with dense protein?
thoughts?
Is sleevie just revolting?

What kind of milk are you using? You may have developed lactose intolerance.
The shakes are NOT dense protein. Dense protein is food items such sirloin steak and chicken breast.
I would suggest you try making water-based shakes. Or use an RTD like Isopure.
Also, you might want to consult with your nut. Have you been keeping a intake log? It would be helpful to have at least two weeks worth of entries ready for that consult so the nut can evaluate it and provide some helpful advice.

I've been forewarned that I will be at least temporarily lactose intolerate following my revision next week. I've purchased almond milk (plain, vanilla and chocolate) on the basis of several folks' direct and indirect recommendations, including yours.

I think you might benefit by consulting with your nut. Sounds like you might be having a general problem getting adequate protein in. Are you logging your intake?
I wonder if it would help if you changed the consistency by either making your shakes thinner so they slide down your throat into your digestive system or if you added shaved ice and made slushies?
Shakes in general are a surprisingly complex composition...
