Does anyone have a problem with dumping from the sugar in Protein drinks?

I was advised that the diet Protein Drinks I was on pre-op are too high in sugar post op. I'm only 5days post op so don't have the personal experience. My friend who is 3.5 years post op, has had the dumping from the higher sugar shakes. Have ordered and am waiting on some bariactric advantage products, including Protein and shakes powders and a protein based vege Soup. I'm in New Zealand, and we are going into winter now, so something warm sounded good. Has anyone else tried this brand. It comes from the states.

Well they could probably be fine if recommend by others that have gone before or surgery staff. I'm from New Zealand and we don't have all the same products over here.

Just a little info I found about why it's better to by the whey Isolate instead of the whey Protein

The primary difference between isolate Protein and concentrate is that the isolate is more pure. In other words, isolate contains more protein with less fat and lactose per serving. Based on whose figures you go by, whey isolate usually contains between 90-94% protein while whey concentrate has a protein ratio of 70-85%.

I too heard the Protein Shots had the wrong type of Protein in them. It's not easily digested and used by your body. I was told the protein should be soy or whey based. Mami you might want to check with your provider to see what they recommend.

I have been drinking Muscle Milk for quite some time and my dietician said you can also but what I find is the scoops are pretty big. So to get the 32g of Protein with 2 scoops you have to make a bigger shake otherwise it's mega sweet.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
