day 2 of liquid diet, protein shake is causing bubble guts!



Recommended Posts

Are you lactose intolerant? And/or is there lactose in the shake? Just wondering if there was anything special that might be bugging you. I seem to get more sensitive the older I get. Most of the whey Protein isolate is fine, but the casein and milk powder give me cranky stomach.

@@bitingcat I am lactose intolerant but I usually can get a way with a glass of milk here and there and it not too much of a problem....but this is the worst I feel nauseated and my stomach is all cramped up....if it doesn't go away after this weekend I'm going to call my surgeon and ask for an alternative.

Any luck finding a better shake? I'm post-op now, too and glad I'm not adding lactose to the grumbly mix. I'm drinking a lot of bone broth and minty herb tea, taking a probiotic, and limiting my Protein powder to whey Protein isolate. Also keeping the Gas-x and Maalox nearby.

      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.
