NEW ISSUES!!!????

Well i'm home recovering and low and behold i can't eat without spending 20 min in the bathroom. I'm drinking boost protien shakes but i get dumping syndrome from it. I eat anything aside from crackers and i get dumping syndrome. I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like giving up sometimes.

I'm now getting this after the dr has removed a large portion of my intestines. I wish i knew what to do. I want to get stronger and heal but i can't. All i'm living on is water and crakers. What more can i do. I don't know anymore. I"m on phase 5 of the gastric by-pass diet but getting nowhere.

If anyone out there can help PLEASE I NEED  IT. I'm at wits end here and weak.

 

Thank you in advance for anyone who can help me.

How much sugar or sugar alcohol does the Boost have in it?  I'm not familiar with the stats on that one, sorry.  I sure wish I knew what to tell you!  Maybe call the doc's office and see what they can offer?   I SURE hope you get some answers!!!  ((((hugs))))  Feel better soon!!!

There is 27g of sugar in Boost. I have tried a new, well not so new just went back to stage one. I'm going to try and eat small (2-3 tbs) of food about every 30 to 60 min and see how that works. I'm gioing to try different foods. I feel like i'm starting over and re-learning what i can and can't eat.

Im wondering if its from where they removed so much of my insides.

Have you ever heard of UNJURY?  You buy it online.  I go to Dr. Loggins office in Lewiston, and they gave it to me to try.  I haven't had surgery yet...and crossing my fingers for October.  Anyway, I liked it when I tried the samples, and so I ordered it online.  They even have a chicken soup one that tastes just like chicken broth but with lots of protein!  It The chocolate kind I bought only has 2 grams of sugar per serving and the chicken soup one is only 1!  My dietician had told me that NO premade drinks are appropriate, they all have too much sugar.  Anyway, not being bossy, but I hope this is helpful.  Good luck to you!!!!!

I have tried unjury and i didn't care for it. I am post op two years. im now learning what i can can and can't eat. i lost a lot of intestine so now its all about learning what i can and can't eat now. thank you for the suggestion though

I wish you luck!!!!  I bet it's hard to find what does/doesn't agree with your body.  Keep us updated.
Sending good wishes your way,

I don't have anything with 5 grams or more of sugar. it will cause dumping. you've got to get protein into you. gnc has some great choices. my favorite is the chocolate even after 2+ years out. they also have fruit flavors. good luck with your healing.

We don't have a gnc around here. I don't know where the nearest one is. I have been thinking about going to the good tern co op. an all natural store. I just don't know if they even have anyting i can use there but i thought that it would be worth a shot.

Rite Aid carries GNC products if you have one of those around?

I don't eat much over 10g of sugar myself, due to dumping.   Maybe some greek yogurt would work for you, mixed with some sugar free preserves/jam or maybe some sf pudding mix?   Hood makes the calorie countdown milk which is high in protein and low in sugar.  I'd still call the doc or nutritionist if you continue to have issues........

Keep us posted and good luck!
