Dumping from protein shake?



Recommended Posts

For Breakfast I had a banana premier Protein shake. I didn't pay attention to how long it took me to drink it. Pretty much the same amount of time it usually takes me. At the half way point I began to feel kinda nauseous, so and weak. Like a anxiety attack. I can't tell if it is just an anxiety attack or am I experiencing dumping? I did have a emotional morning ( stupid hormones) It's been 30 mins and I'm a little better no more nausea but still Shakey and weak. I'm 12 days post op

You indicted that you are shaky and weak after consuming food (your Protein shake).

After surgery a few individual's experience reactive hypoglycemia. Here is a link. http://www.weightlosssurgery.ca/before-after-surgery/reactive-hypoglycaemia-post-gastric-bypass/

But generally this condition shows up several months after surgery.

If you were diabetic prior to surgery and taking prescription medicine for this condition. And you still are taking medicine to reduce your blood sugar, it might be important to reassess your medicine with your doctor and reduce the level.

Thank you. I was not diabetic before surgery. I think it was anxiety. I didn't experience sweating or heart racing .

      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.
