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.

      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.
