was not prepared for this dumping
I had my revision done Sept 18. I am on protein shakes only now. My protein shakes make me dump. I feel like pure ****! I am using Bariatric fusion shakes, but no longer can. Any suggestions for other protein shakes to try?
I was having a lot of problems with various protein shakes. Check the labels if you think you are lactose intolerant.
The Whey Protein Institute agrees, stating that whey isolate powders have little or no lactose, but they do encourage consumers who are lactose-intolerant to read supplement ingredient labels completely and contact manufacturers before using isolates if there is any doubt about how much lactose they may contain.
Thankfully I am now 12 weeks out and have replaced protein shakes for protein source from food. I am able to get my proteins from meats and beans. I am also good with VEGA protein powder and mix with my yogurt in the morning and coffee and soups in the afternoon. I also use lactose free Almond Breeze for a bit fuller taste. Oddly I cannot digest cottage cheese or Ricotta but I am OK with greek yogurt.
I hear from my NUT that after revision some weeks shakes not doing well and then some weeks you can. So try VEGA protein and see if that works for you. Find protein2o water that contains 15 g of protein each bottle. Then in a about 3 days try a little protein shake again and see if you are doing OK with in.
I also learned that a few cramps and diarrhea is not necessarily dumping - its a digestive problem. I stupidly had a dumping session a couple of weeks ago over sweet icing on a piece of cake. Oh believe me - dumping is far worse. Like roll over on the floor, vomitting and dizzy. Please do not experiment just yet. Follow the plan for the first two to three months.
