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!!!

      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.
