Mrs.Solis 20 Posted September 18, 2022 10 day post opt and have to say lots of questions still although I know it's Normal. Def having issues with being able to get all my fluids in because I feel so full and then my stomach hurts .. I know that when I tried the primer Protein Shakes I got sick immediately and I believe it was the milk .. which I never had a problem with before .. but now slowly introducing like almond milk and taking it slow .. but I'll admit I'm scared of food . 1 KimA-GA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,221 Posted September 18, 2022 it's not uncommon to develop some food intolerances after surgery - although they're often temporary. Milk is a common one - and so is artificial sweeteners (especially sugar alcohols - the ones whose names end in -itol (like xylitol)). 2 1 Mrs.Solis, Arabesque and KimA-GA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShoppGirl 5,024 Posted September 19, 2022 Maybe try the clear Protein Drinks. If it’s the milk In the shake you should be fine with those. Take it slow though in case it’s the sweetener. If so there are several that are used and you may only have an issue with a certain one. 1 1 Mrs.Solis and KimA-GA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bettyboop56 33 Posted December 21, 2022 I religiously measured Water and with 15 minute timer, sipped to get the water in. Then reset 15 min timer on my phone once water was down. Slow but sure. At 4 weeks went to a kids sippy cup after measuring 10 little sips, spitting it in measure cup to calibrate intake. Now at 8 weeks 18 sips is equal to 1/2 cup. Staying there until 6 months. Still trying to drink every 15 minutes. Take water in car to drink every 15 minutes. I don't like water so use sugar free skittles flavoring. The strawberry ones I mix with low fat Greek yogurt.
