I was just wondering something. I was able to start on full liquids yesterday and I tried an Atkins shake. It really upset my stomach. Was it too much too fast? Has anyone come out of the surgery lactose intolerant? How did you transition from clears to full liquids?

I have heard of people having intolerance to lactose post sleeve so that might be it. I might would wait and try again after some time and drink slowly.

For each stage of diet change just go very slow. And if your tummy doesnt like something, dont eat it again for a while. It is kind of trial and error right now.

I have an egg intolerance now. Funny how your body changes.

Hope you feel better.

It's worth searching the forum for lactose intolerance as during the couple of months I've been participating, there have been a number of discussions on this topic.

Try drinking very slowly.

I completely understand , Im in the same boat you are (6 days out). I am coming to the conclusion, our stomach are really sensitive when we drinking to fast ( feels like quick punches). To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of just the shake, Instead, I add in some different Soups, Such as "Cream of chicken" campbells & tomato Soup with Taco seasoning. I make sure that their liquify in the blender cause i don't want any complications. 3 week liquid diet feel like "eternity", just try to get creative within the guidelines.

Take 2 lactaid pills with your shakes just to be on the safe side. Also my blog had a lot of very flavorful, savory, high protein soups with real veggies and meat that are easy to make. Search for full liquids and you will find tortilla soup, shrimp bisque, etc there.
