That's my new theme song and its not for a good reason. I guess Protein Shakes and I are not friends. I am dying, I was up at 4am with the worst gas pains of my life. I told my sister in law that I was going to be the Virgin Macy on "I didn't know I was pregnant" that or I had an alien making an escape through my stomach. This morning it happened again and I had a lovely bout of diarrhea, I've never been so happy to have that! It immediately eliminated the pain. I had 3oz of a Protein Shake AND it all started again. I know Protein shakes can be a process but I don't know if I can deal with this every time. It's horrid.

sounds like its time to try a bunch of different shakes (if you already have not gone through it). there is a forum for nutrition, etc.....check it out. a burning bum is NO fun. get better soon!

Take two lactaid pills before you drink your shakes. These are classic symptoms of lactose intolerance

It sounds like lactose intolerance to me as well. My nurse and nut told me almond milk is a waste for any WLS patient. It doesn't have the Protein you need in it. They said stick with soy. I've got lactose intolerance so I've had to find soy Protein Powder, which isn't avail everywhere.

I had the same problem with Protein Shakes. My nutritionist suggested that I use shakes or whey that are Isolate. Isolate made all the difference to me. I don't have that gas and diarrhea anymore since I switched over. Oh and since I make my own Protein shakes with the whey isolate I use unsweetened Almond milk because I do have a bit of Lactose intolerance. Good Luck, Hope something works for you since protein is the most important part of your new diet.

Hi. I am lactose I tolerant too. My dietician told me to use unjury protein powder. Not bad at all. And make it with Lactaid milk. The Lactaid milk has 8 grams of protein for 8 ounces. Soy and almond milk don't have as much protein. Hope it ges better.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
