klea0215 8 Posted May 2, 2017 I picked up Carnation Protein Shake at Walmart and was so focused on Protein content that I didn't realize it had 12g of sugar in it [emoji15][emoji15][emoji15] I immediately quit drinking them but didn't notice it until today and I have had 3 of them between yesterday morning and this evening!!! I didn't feel sick or anything just scared I may have done something terrible I shouldn't have.....PLEASE TELL ME SOMEONE ELSE HAS DONE THIS TOO!!! By the way my sleeve surgery was 4/25/17.

NWJill 119 Posted May 2, 2017 That is not the worst thing in the world, unless you are reacting to sugar you will be fine and look at the bright side, it reminds you to read the whole label when you purchase something new Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
klea0215 8 Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks !!! I was so worried and have been super strict .....I can't believe I didn't see that when I bought them. Thank GOD I didn't go through DUMPING stage from it . My worst fear was it would mess my incision or healing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orionburn 1,024 Posted May 2, 2017 Dumping can happen with a sleeve, but it's much more likely to occur in gastric bypass patients. You'll be fine. People have done way worse (intentionally) than a little mistake like that. Pre-made stuff like Carnation you have to be really careful with. They can have a lot of hidden things in them. Long term I think it's better to invest in a good Blender Bottle and find a powdered Protein that you like. Usually a lot cheaper than the pre-made stuff as well. 2 Heres2SecondChances and klea0215 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was my birthday May 1st first! I was sleeved March 10, 2017. I had a piece of cake yesterday with my family for the first time since my surgery. About 5 minutes later I felt like OMGGGG what have I done[emoji15][emoji26]!!! Not a good feeling at all... I learned my lesson and I will never do this again. If I could encourage sleevers...DONT DO IT it's not WORTH it!!! 2 klea0215 and tataworld605 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
