Hi all! Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section but I wasn't quite sure where else this question would fit. I am nine weeks post op sleeve and feeling great. There is one exception, I have started to have diarrhea after drinking certain protein shakes and after eating sugar free pudding. It happens about 20-30 minutes after I have started drinking the shakes and it only happens once and then it's done. I start to get these really loud gurgles and then I know what's about to happen. Is this a form of dumping? Is it because of some ingredient in the shakes and pudding? I did discuss it with my surgeon and he was not concerned because it doesn't happen all the time. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Thanks!

Could be lactose intolerance. Happens a lot after the sleeve.

No not dumping(sleevers don't get dumping) but you are right something in the shake or pudding. Could be the aspartame or sweetener used in both. Experiment and not have these particular foods and see what happens. Good Luck

Yes! It happens to me when I drink the nutriment protein supplement about 10 mins into drinking it am having a liquid pass. I think there is sumtin in it that doesn't agree with r sleeve! But it's normal.

Per-sleeve here, but very aware of what these ingredients do to me. Check for sugar alcohols, sucrolose, and aspartame....will cause diarrhea...

I will have to be very careful choosing my protein shakes

It happen to me with premier protein shakes. I can't tolerate those shakes.

This happens to me with all protein drinks so i stopped having them.

Okay well I am glad to know I'm not alone!. I have omitted the drinks that give me the issues and so far so good.

It happen to me with premier Protein shakes. I can't tolerate those shakes.

Unfortunately - same with me.

I didn't know what was going on as I was newly out. I couldn't tolerate the sugar in the premier protein. Now I use syntax nectar.

Unfortunately - same with me.

I see I'm not alone on this. Sorry this happen to you too.

My tummy problems had to do with the protein powder I was using. I have become lactose in tolerate and my protein powder had MILK in it! Now I do lactose free and my stomach is much better.

Yes you and I are now lactose intolerant. I use Lactaid skim milk but the protein powders have lactose in them as well so get you some Lactaid pills. Even if I take 2 Lactaid pills I still can't drink the Premier Protein Shakes.

I am having this problem too, but it doesn't seem to be related to a particular Protein shake, so I can't cut it out. It happens about 30 minutes after I start my first meal(shake), although I occasionally experience it later in the day also. I am 11 days post-op, so I'm hoping my tummy will settle down soon. I go back to work in a week and I don't want to have to dash to the ladies room unexpectedly...it's a loooong way from my desk!

Anyone else experiencing this, not related to a specific protein drink/food? Any suggestions?

Has anyone experienced hives? 18 days post op,it's making me crazy,can't figure out what's causing it!

Maybe the Meds you are taking ..
