So, I got home from hospital last week, and I didn't feel like like dealing with making shakes so we had a bottle of Ensure in the fridge (was for an other family member), so I used it. After a couple of "meals" of 2-3 oz., I got diarrhea, did another "meal" before it clicked, was milk or Protein causing it? I thought it might be milk, so got some non- milk shakes which seemed to agree OK. Then I thought to look at the Ensure label, it has over 20 grams of sugar per serving, do you think this is an example of dumping with the sleeve?

I am trying to find a shake or shake mix that works and does not cause gas, bloating, or diarrhea. Even finding Vitamins that do not cause problems is quite a challenge. I have to watch for milk Protein but unfortunately I am not sure which form it is that makes me so sick. I cannot eat or drink things that are processed milk products like soft serve ice cream, flavored or preserved coffee c reamers. but I can manage a glass or two of non fat or 1% without having problems. oSo it is important that I get this figured out now. I also can not tolerate any form of sugar alcohol which is the first ingredient in many "sugar free' items. My nutritionist does not want me to rely on soy Protein and has suggested I try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored and see if it works for me.

Probably not. Dumping with sleeve patients is not common.

When I dump, I get overheated then loose bowels. Not always diarrhea. Sometimes just multiple episodes (3 or 4 in an hour) of sudden huge BMs. It's almost always preceded by a drink/meal that was high in sugar.

My NUT said Ensure was not approved for diet because it has too much sugar.

yes yes yes, on all labels you want for the Total fat & Sugar to 10 g or less on each....

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
