HELP !!!! Had sugar by accident



Recommended Posts

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.

Not the end of the world. Just don't drink anymore, and move on.

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

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.

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.

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!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
