What Is Sugar Doing To Me?

[gettingtohappy 23]

Ok...so I think I've been doing wrong because I have a sour stomach when drinking and eating. Is it because I'm drinking regular gatorade? I haven't been text book on avoiding sugar...ie...yogurt, and Jello. Is this my problem? I had a low bmi so I thought my doctor ordered no sugar because of that just being the standard and not wanting to dwarf my weight loss. But most certainly I don't want to do anything to harm myself. I'm in my 2nd week. What is sugar doing to me?!

I'm not sure exactly what it might be, but I'd say it's most likely the yogurt. Lots of us sleevers will get lactose intolerance post op. I did! Though not so much with yogurt, but milk made me sick really bad. Also, it could be the sugar too. If I have more than 15g per sitting, I get sick as well.

Sorry you're not feeling well. I suggest trial and error, take a list of everything you're eating. Space out the sugar and the dairies and write down how each makes you feel. You'll find your culprit eventually.

Thanks lilmissdiva,

Girl...my mom had bypass years ago and I told her about what was going and she told me to stay away from the sugar and that's why my stomach is annoyed. I've only had about an ounce of yogurt since the surgery so I'm not quite sure it's that. But you have a great idea to space it out and flush out the culprit.

Thanks for responding!

I too have had trouble with sugar or products with sugar in them since the surgery. If I eat anything with a higher amount of sugar I feel quite ill.

I just t ry avoid the foods. Thankfully they are ones I should be avoiding too.

I havent had too much with sugar except the RTD Protein Drinks. Havent been a problem but I am wondering too if I maybe am developing this lactose intolerance post op- Yogurt doesnt bother me, string chese and cottage cheese don't bother me but if I make a Protein Drink with my 1% Milk ewe.. a bit gurgly afterwards... I am already on PPI twice day and it isnt "acid"... weird i tell ya... 1 of the things we cannot plan for - for sure...

In the first 8 weeks any yogurt or milk product made me feel sick. Not uncommon. It's better now. Trial and error!
