I Had A Very Bad Night, And A Bit Of A Set Back Last Night!

I had a very bad night last night, and a bit of a set back! I was doing fine most of the day, vacuumed my hardwood floor, put dishes away in my dish washer, made my bed, and even did a little laundry. I was still feeling OK, but now just a little tired. About 5:00 p.m. I made myself some beef bullion with some unflavored protein powder in it, then heated it in my microwave. I slowly drank that down over about an hours time. I started to not feel so good about 7:00 p.m. I got more and more nauseated, and started to vomit. Plus I was still having problems with my stools being very lose, and allot of gas. By 9:00 pm. I was feeling so bad, and was feeling very weak and tingly in my arms, and legs. I was feeling like I might pass out! Mind you, I am home alone as my hubby works 2nd shift! I tried not to call him at work, but by 9:00 p.m. I was getting worried that something was wrong with my sleeve, or something! I called my hubby home, and he took me in to the ER at the hospital where I had gotten my sleeve 8 days ago. They ran some test on me, gave me anti nausea meds., pain meds., and IV fluids as I was dehydrated by then. We were there 4 hours, and they said everything looked OK with my sleeve, and told me to double up on my Prilosec, and take one A.M., and one P.M. to help with excessive acid my stomach was apparently making! My doctor that did my sleeve thinks I need to give dairy a break for a bit. I don't know what happened, but I know I felt terrible! This morning I feel allot better, and I'm going to be more careful about what I eat, and try to stay away from things that say they contain MILK! I can't wait until I can add more things to my diet for some variety. Anyone else experience anything like this?

You said you had some beef bullion with protein powder in it. Did the protein powder contain milk?

Im so sorry you had a bad evening but its a good thing you went to the hospital just in case it was something really bad.

I understand that having either the sleeve or the bypass can cause you to become lactose intolerant. You would have to talk to the dietitian regarding if that includes the whey protein, since that is made from milk. Sorry you had such a set back - you sure have had a time of it. It will get better!!!!!

I just got home today after getting sleeved , everything went well , Thank God, after reading your story , I will avoid milk ..... but I am wondering if I should continue my protein shakes ?

I hope that you feel better and dont have to go through that again.

Yes, the un-flavored protein does have milk in it as it says so on the container. My other protein powders do not have milk, or any lactose in them. I'm doing much better today thank God! Thank you all for your well wishes! :)
