Gas pain everytime i drink my shakes



Recommended Posts

Ok so for the past 3 days I still haven't been able to get one full meal down due to what I assume is horrible gas pain. I was banded on 12/13. I've been up walking around being active. It takes a good 3-4 hours before it subsides then I finally get hungry again and try all over. I once again get about 1/4-1/2 cup of Protein Shake drank before that feeling comes back again. I can't even get down Water afterwards. I don't want to get dehydrated and I know I need my nutrients as well but I'm at a loss. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!!

I was having a hard time with the shakes causing me gas so I switched the shake and I am fine now. Maybe you just need to change out your shakes. I was on pure Protein but now am on designer whey (flavorless). I put it in everything!!!

The unflavored also gives me problems. Idk. I get to start with creamy Soups today so I'm hoping I will be able to find enough substitutes of natural Protein cause they seem to sit well with me better. I had a very small spoonful of refried beams and cottage cheese and didn't have any problems at all. So I'm going to try and blend those into soups! :-) thanks

Do you know if you are lactose intolerant? If so, check that your shakes and Protein powders are lactose free. If mixing with a milk base, try Almond milk, unsweetened is if low in calories and high in calcium!

I've never had that problem before. The only dairy does to me is break my skin out and that's only if it has fat. I'm allergic to the fat in dairy that's it. It's never caused gi issues. Thanks though. I'm off the shakes now. I think it was that type of powder I'm convinced. I had 1/2 cup of ff cottage cheese this morning with no problems! I'm hoping that's what it was! Thanks everyone for the advice.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
