So pre surgery and until yesterday (5 days post) I have been using muscle good labs Isolate mixed with cashew milk its great Protein but its a mix and a bit flat on the flavor. My Doctors gives suggested recipes for shakes but all they use is Premier from cost co so I say what the heck I am in need of a switch a roo and hubby picks up a case of every flavor ( he really is the best) So yesterday I make the recipe as written and they say to blend it which causes all kinds of foam and I drank it any way I know I know dumb idea really bad gas felt awful ended up missing all my numbers yesterday. I wake up feeling great this morning and I grab another premier this time straight from the bottle and bam by 2pm I sick with gas so my hypothesis is that nothing else has changed it must be the premier has anyone else had this issue please what did you do and how did you lessen the gas I have taken a gas x and I am working on peppermint tea now but this is going to throw my day off again :(

After my gastric bypass surgery, I became lactose intolerant. This condition lasted for a couple months and then disappeared. Some Protein Shakes contain lactose. According to the internet Premier "Contains Milk" in the form of Milk Protein Concentrate. This may be what is causing your stomach to become upset.

What ever it is the devil himself created it is awful and it is throwing all of my numbers off for Water and Protein gas x doesn't seem to help much and walking is doing a darn thing sigh reminder to self lets wait till we are feeling better before we go off and try new things

It sounds very likely that its a lactose intolerance issue.

Your first Protein Shake was isolate (which by definition is lactose free). Now you switched to a Protein with concentrate.

Gas X will do nothing for lactose intolerance symptoms.

Best avoiding lactose intolerance for a while, then seeing if you can ever tolerate it again once youre feeling better

      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.
