Hey guys, I'm new here and am 4 days post- op. Had a bit of a set back in the hospital and it delayed me starting full liquids until today. Well, I was super pumped for my Protein Shake. The hospital gave me a sample of Unjury. I mixed it up per directions and sipped it slowly and thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate flavor. Well about twenty minutes after I had finished half of it...I had to bolt to the bathroom. This has been happening all day now. Is this cause for concern? Do I need to switch back to Clear Liquids until I talk to my doc? Thanks for any and all help! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I can only hope. [emoji24] Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

They said because they do not provide any carbs? They want me to have 5 carbs per shake...which is hard to find in plant based protein. I think I really just need to call the doc tomorrow because I'm still having pretty awful issues today and have been on clear liquids since the incident yesterday. It's getting old quick. I'm trying not to get discouraged but any fluids I put in are gone within 20 minutes or so. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor and dietitian said absolutely not on the clear protein drinks or else I would give it a shot. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on day 4 too! My tummy is also very quick to tell me when I have done something wrong There is a definite learning curve. I'm so excited though. I'm down 12 lbs and feeling great! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you so much. I got scared that maybe it was lactose intolerance, which I know is super common in vsg. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I really took my time on it. When I began feeling that fullness in my chest I stopped and put it away for about 30 minutes. I was wondering if I may be lactose intolerant due to surgery? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app
