Gas pain everytime i drink my shakes

[lifewillbegood 68]

Ok so for the past 3 days I still haven't been able to get one full meal down due to what I assume is horrible gas pain. I was banded on 12/13. I've been up walking around being active. It takes a good 3-4 hours before it subsides then I finally get hungry again and try all over. I once again get about 1/4-1/2 cup of Protein Shake drank before that feeling comes back again. I can't even get down Water afterwards. I don't want to get dehydrated and I know I need my nutrients as well but I'm at a loss. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!!

Ok thanks. I will try anything at this point. I only had today left until I start creamy stuff tomorrow.

I was having a hard time with the shakes causing me gas so I switched the shake and I am fine now. Maybe you just need to change out your shakes. I was on pure Protein but now am on designer whey (flavorless). I put it in everything!!!

The unflavored also gives me problems. Idk. I get to start with creamy Soups today so I'm hoping I will be able to find enough substitutes of natural Protein cause they seem to sit well with me better. I had a very small spoonful of refried beams and cottage cheese and didn't have any problems at all. So I'm going to try and blend those into soups! :-) thanks

Well good luck!! I know how much it can suck to hurt all the time!!!

Do you know if you are lactose intolerant? If so, check that your shakes and Protein powders are lactose free. If mixing with a milk base, try Almond milk, unsweetened is if low in calories and high in calcium!

I've never had that problem before. The only dairy does to me is break my skin out and that's only if it has fat. I'm allergic to the fat in dairy that's it. It's never caused gi issues. Thanks though. I'm off the shakes now. I think it was that type of powder I'm convinced. I had 1/2 cup of ff cottage cheese this morning with no problems! I'm hoping that's what it was! Thanks everyone for the advice.
