Diarrhea vs Dumping Syndrome

[krtrebie 35]

Does your Protein have sugar in it? If it has sugar in it and then you mix it with your milk that has sugar your body might be getting to much sugar. I started having issues with my Protein drinks after surgery with gaging on them and throwing them up and getting horrible stomach aches, but I was fine with milk on their own.

I'm currently dealing with Constipation and it's a pain in the butt.

I had dumping syndrome once from too much sugar and it sounds exactly what you are describing, I never once heard that having dumping syndrome gives you a fever. So what I'm trying to say is that you could be having a form of dumping syndrome

I had diarrhea until u was about post op week 5/6. It wasn't until I began puree foods that it changed to actually solid form.

That said...I did dump from sf Torani Syrup. Soon as i took my last drink if the beverage, I was running for the bathroom. I was stuck there for a good hour or more.

The diarrhea from all the liquids wasn't instantly ready to come upon drinking my meals. The dumping was for me.

My nurse said it's very common to have diarrhea like that after WLS because your not eating solids.

I'm 2 weeks post op and I've had the same problem! Only with Protein shakes! I can eat cottage cheese and drink milk and I'm fine but as soon as I drink a Protein Shake it's all over. I've tried lactose, lactose free, soy and soy free. It doesn't matter. I'm in the loo. Only my Protein Shakes. I was drinking New Whey and adding it to Water it seemed to help but it made the water too sweet and I got sick of drinking my water like that. So I've been just drinking plain water and getting my protein from food now.
