Dumping

So I'm two weeks out and still drinking lots of shakes. I tried the Fit Frappe cappuccino shake and dumped within a few minutes. I had to go re read the nut label. It said 0 sugars, but it also listed 6g of sugar alcohols. I guess I can't do this one. It was so yummy too.

Sugar alcohols won't make me dump, but will give me cramps and diarrhea.

Fit Frappe is not a whey isolate protein.  It is a protein made from milk and is loaded with lactose.  My guess id that you are lactose intolerant and that is the problem.  It is also a slowly absorbed protein and not a good source for post WLS.  We need fast absorbing protein.  Whey isolate is the best.  If your protein contains Whey concentrate it also has lactose.  Here is a link explaining the side effects from this protein and why it is a poor choice post WLS.

 Hopefully this link will work http://www.buzzle.com/articles/side-effects-of-calcium-casei nate.html

Ahhhh good to know

Thank you. That was helpful.

Great article......I have been drinking all kinds of protein drinks over the years. I am lactose intolerant and I do get bloated quite a bit. I will be checking the labels when buying protein powders. I am diabetic so I basically only look at carbs, sugar, and fiber. I am scheduled for surgery on 6/27/16 so this is a good thing to know for my after surgery life.

i had a 6 hour toilet session with stuff coming out of both ends when I had a sugar-free pudding cup that had xylitol in it.  The intestinal cramps were so bad, I almost blacked out twice.  I won't even look at chocolate now.  No big loss there.

I switched over to Fit Frappe when I was only about 10lbs from goal and very confident that  was getting enough protein from food sources. Early out I used Unjury brand shakes which are definitely a much better protein source.

JB- I saw your Fit Frappe on the daily menu thread and thought it sounded like a good idea to get my protein and coffee. I didn't read the label very closely and didn't realize it wasn't a good choice this early in the game.

Live and learn.
