Hey Guys,

I am 1 week post op as of today. I was sleeved 6/14. Did any of you have problems with you body processing your protein? I have tried it with 1% milk, 1% lactaid, and water. With in 10 min I break out into a cold sweat and then have to rush to the bathroom with diarrhea. Tmi, I know. But I have to figure this out because I met with my doc today and he told me to try with Lactaid, which I did when I got home and same thing happened.

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Frank

@Flost9823 this early in your recovery, it could easily be dumping syndrome, but then again, I have had a few friends who have become lactose intolerant post surgery. Good luck on your journey and welcome to the club!

What type of protein are you using? I find the Slim Fast Advanced LOW CARB ready made shakes the easiest to get down and 20 grams of protein per shake I also add isopure unflavored powder to soup/pudding/lactaid milk

At 1 week I was not allowed to have anything but clear liquids still. Are you following your post op?

Yes I am. On the 4th day they put me on full liquids.

ON Gold Standard 100% whey. It's powder. I use to drink it all the time when I is to lift.

Try the Premier Protein shakes. I have used those since before surgery. In fact, they have the opposite effect on me. Might be worth a try for you.

I did not go to full liquid until day 20 but still struggled. I found either very hot broth or ice cold clear drinks were the most comfortable. It will take 6+ mo the before you feel "normal" drinking again, you will just need to try them all and find what works best for you. 2 years later I still drink premier protein daily.

There is the possibility that you can become lactose intolerance after your surgery have you tried "muscle milk light?"
I had my surgery on 6/16 today is my first day back at home since surgery.

Thanks for the answers. Just talked to my nutritionist, he is having me return it and get egg white protein. He thinks I'm having an issue with Whey protein in general.

Possibly, but I've had milk for other things and haven't had a problem.

Anyways, congrats! How are you feeling overall?

Unjury has just come out with a planted line which is vegan and does not use whey. You may want to give that a try:

I can't tolerate any dairy or soy based protein powders. Only thing that doesn't make me sick is plant based. Even after 13 years post op.
