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.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
