Here is a link for a Protein Powder which is "hydrolyzed" which should help. Check it out and maybe this one will do the trick.

I am 1 & 1/2 weeks post-sleeve. I also have problems with gas and bloating after drinking the Protein Shake. I have several different brands/flavors, but even one that is soy, lactose, gluton-free causes gas and bloating. I see where a few people have posted using GasX. How far out did you start using it?

Are you mixing lactose free milk in with it? My nutritionist suggested skim or fairlife milk but im too lactose intolerant. Even using soy milk im still slightly affected because of the whey Protein in my powder but not nearly as bad as using full dairy. I can still have 2 shakes a day.
My soy milk was frozen so i used the regular milk we had and cut it with Water. My stomach was trashed for 2 days. And i only had about 8oz of milk. I was always lactose intolerant but i think its worse now. I would love to be able to eat yogurt again, Greek yogurt was my fave and i just discovered the Oikos 000 and they are so good. But they Wreaked absolute HAVOC on my tummy. So dairy is VERY limited for me.

Oh PS, The thicker the shake is the harder a time i have. Even 5.5 months out. Even now i will cut my soy milk with Water to thin it out and make it more manageable. Smaller sips and thinner shakes might help.

Ok thank you and I have Premier Protein I bought a lean shake lactose and gluten free and gas was still pretty bad




You have to walk! You can walk from room to room in your house or in your yard! But just move your body to release that gas! I would walk around in my house every other commercial that would come on TV until I was able to walk to my mail box then I was able to walk 4 houses down in my subdivision but please move your body [emoji3]

Probably the milk. They make chewable tablets called lactose. Take one of them before drink it. It should help.

It's very common not to handle milk after surgery.

I am 3 days post - op and noticing everytime I drank my Protein shake I start to develop real bad gas.
Is anyone else experiencing this?


I was going through that thought I was extremely lactose intolerant all of a sudden but it got better. I am 9 days post op and it is not as bad now

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
