Rumble In The Jungle......

Hello Fellow Sleevers, I am having a hard time with digesting different liquids. Crystal Light, Jello, and now Atkins shakes are giving me extreme gas. I am trying to be lady like btw. I believe it must be the aspartame in the CL and jello, and the shakes apparently are not lactose free. My DH brought the shakes home, I told him to get Boost Glucose Control. I am lactose intolerant. What are some more suggestions for liquids to consume? I am suffering here, and I just want to eat something. I am down to Water and popsicles only, can't keep going like this. Help?

Have you tried silk or lactaid?

Have you tried broth? or Protein Powder mixed in blender with ice & lactose free milk or Water?

I purchased Protein powder and Silk Almond Milk during my 2 week Liquid Protein diet, pre op . It was good. I was going to try Boost Glucose Control this time though, but DH brought home the wrong item. I will rectify that tomorrow. But I need other options, other than shakes. I can't eat anything else. I did find out that I can have creamed Soups, so I will also pick that up tomorrow too. Any other suggestions? Just so I won't get bored.

Aside from sf Jello I cant think of anything that's not dairy, ie yogurt, pudding, cream of wheat etc.

My roommate made progresso minestrone and it smelled like heaven. I had him strain out the broth and I ate that. It was one of the best things I have ever had. Probably because I had been on liquid for two weeks but it was awesome.

I haven't had surgery yet but this worries me! This is my problem also. It bothers my stomach now!!!! It's the fake sugar subsatutes. Crystal lite bothers me as soon as I take a drink my stomach goes crazy! It happens to my kids also! The lactos free milk doesnt work for me either. My Dr. Said its the sugars in the milk that cause it for some people. So this will be something i will be going through too! Help us gassy people... Please!!! Lol!!!
