Dumping.?.?
Which protein shake are you drinking? Are you making it with milk? I'm extremely lactose intolerant now and can't even put a little milk or cream in my coffee without feeling sick.

The hot flashes and sweating could be the start of hormone dumping or, since you are a recent post-op, it could be your body ridding itself of the anesthesia from surgery. I felt yucky for a few months.
Yes, you continue to drink!!!! Dehydration is the main cause of re-hospitalization after WLS. Drink up! Water is more important than the protein shakes right now. You won't become protein deficient over night, but you can become dehydrated REALLY fast.
Ditto what Deanna said. Lactose intolerance can make you feel like crap, but usually it manifests as gas, diarrhea, and nausea.
