When I was craving hot chocolate last winter (I was about 6 months out then), I would heat up 8 oz of the chocolate Fairlife on the stove. Yes, it's still got 140 calories and 12g of sugar, but it has 13g of Protein and it was a great treat every now and then. And it never caused me any digestive issues.

I have a hot cocoa almost every morning. 1 packet Nestle fat free hot chocolate + 4 oz unsweetened vanilla cashew milk + 2 oz Water + dollop of fat free reddi whip. All in all under 55 calories of deliciousness.

I also add in other flavorings -- like this morning I added some hazelnut sweet drops & instant coffee for a hazelnut mocha hot cocoa.

Nothing I've eaten since being sleeved has made me "crap myself." I think that's more often for bypass or DS people.

I think the OP is probably referring to old fashion hot chocolate. If that is the case, dumping syndrome is possible. A huge spike in blood sugar and fat in the blood stream could cause the drooling, nausea, sweating, foaming, and yes even crapping yourself.

Dumping makes you feel awful. I mean seriously awful. Any of the alternative listed above is better this early in the game.

6 months out. So what happens if we drink hot chocolate? Do we crap ourselves? Seriously.

This is going to be a 100% personal "thing". Not everyone dumps on the same stuff, and not everyone dumps the same way. Dumping symptoms vary drastically from person to person and even food to food. It's really a "try and see" situation. Some increased sugars and fats don't phase me at all, I can eat Hersey Kisses by the handful and not have any problems, which kinda sucks because now I have to chose to avoid them rather than having them cause issues and not be worth eating.

Best thing to do is stay in touch with your nutritionist and when you are cleared to start trying foods, do so at home with plenty of time to deal with any of the dumping side effects. I eat a bowl of Tomato Soup and felt like I had all my energy zapped, had to go lay down and ended up sleeping for like 3-4 hours.

It's a tough learning journey trying to figure out the new you.
Good Luck!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
