Gas pain everytime i drink my shakes



Recommended Posts

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!!!

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

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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
