Question!

[mkrr33 6]

I'm new here and so glad I found this site. I'm 7 days post op today. I haven't been able to choke down the shakes until today. I got about 3 ozs down without feeling like I was going to puke well about 30 minutes later I was off to the restroom with diarrhea. 30 minutes later back in there again. Is anyone else having these issues?!?

I'm 13 days post op, but from the beginning I didn't have problems with shakes or diarrhea. Are you mixing your shakes with milk? I wonder if its lactose intolerance. It might be worth it to try mixing w Water. Just a suggestion.

Can you keep Water down?

[mkrr33 6]

Yes I mixed with Water this morning. I am able to keep water, G2, yogurt and SF Jello and Popsicles down. I have not had this issue until today.

is it just when you try and drink or eat something that you feel like throwing up ? is till get diarrhea. its just your body getting used to this new stomache and foods. if you feel like all the time you can ask your dr. for anti nausea meds. Good Luck

Is there milk product in the Protein Shake mix ( the powder) ? You may need to try a different brand if your new stomach rejects this one.

Protein powders did this to me as well.Whey protein to be precise.I bought some soy protein that I used for a month (tastes foul though) and in my second month I started drinking Isopure but only one shake a day.When I was on solids I started eating my protein even if I had to puree it to get enough.

Yes, Chike has plenty of lactose left in it.

Umm, Isopure is whey protein.

I know.I did soy Protein for the first month.After that I did fine on the isopure.I was not lactose intolerant per say for the first month as I could drink milk.But the Isopure gave me bad diaree.

I had diarrhea for the first two weeks or so. It resolved after transitioning to a solid diet. I was advised that it's a fairly normal thing.
