My doctor cleared me for full liquids yesterday. This morning I had a shake that I drank quite a bit before surgery. It has 4g of carbs and 3 grams of sugar. About 20 minutes after starting to drink it I felt really sick, had cold sweats, and ended up having diarrhea. When I went back and looked at the shake label. It's not excessivly high in fat, but it's a little higher than the 3 grams of fat per 100 calories rule that my NUT taught me. It is 9 grams of fat for 220 calories. Is that really high enough to cause dumping syndrome? Or does my sleeve just not like that shake?

I didnt think dumping syndrome was particularly a sleeve thing. I think that happens with the bypass. Ive been having some diarrhea. Saw my dr yesterday and he said its common during first few weeks. liquid in, liquid out!

Does it have dairy in it? Could you be having an adverse reaction to the lactose? Maybe it's possible you could be confusing dumping with a lactose sensitivity.

In my nutrition classes they told us it used to be thought to be only a bypass thing, but they are finding that people with the sleeve have it also. Our want just the diarrhea that concerned me, it was the way I felt before that.

It is a lactose free shake, so it couldn't have been a lactose sensitivity.

I know I won't be drinking that shake anymore!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
