I actually never took any, but one of my friends who had VSG in December still has to take Zofran occasionally. Have you tried different brands and flavors of protein shakes? I couldn't stand the Premier ones even before surgery.

There is no time limit on taking it. If those shakes don't agree with you there a hundreds of others you can try

I had super severe nausea right after surgery. I actually had to stay an extra day in the hospital because of the nausea and my oxygen level. I am 5 weeks postop and have only taken it twice, once the day after I came home from the hospital and once a couple of weeks ago because I got dumping syndrome from canned Spam spread, lol. That will teach me to not read every label!

Dumping is caused by sugar. You may have had a bad reaction to the high fat in the spam but dumping comes from sugar intake

Could you be lactose intolerant? Check the label on the protein you are drinking. If it contained whey concentrate, it contains lactose. Look for a protein powder that is whey isolate. It should say 99% lactose free on the label. If you are mixing it with milk, you could try it with unsweetened almond, soy or cashew milk. I mix mine into my coffee in the morning.
I was sick for three months before I figured out that I was lactose intolerant. I can eat yogurt and cheese, but milk makes me very sick.
