Im about 2 months post sleeve 12/12. I had a good recovery and have been on an as tolerated diet since 5 weeks. I have lost 50 lbs including the preop diet. Latley ( past 1.5 weeks) my stomach is constantly upset feels like its churning. I also wake up at night due to the sick feeling. Otherwise I have no other issues. I have been taking my omeprazole as prescribed daily. I find that I can no longer tolerate dairy well and the protien shakes are making me feel nauseated. Has anyone else struggled with this? Any suggestions as to how to proceed as I feel that I am currently under eating and I do not want to damage my metabolism.

Yes, I had surgery and have had similar issues in recent weeks. I gave up protein shakes and other things that suddenly were making me nauseous, mainly meats. I still get in my protein with a lot of beans, eggs, low-fat cheese and other high protein foods. I'm just paying close attention to what my body is telling me and adjusting my diet accordingly. It's helping.

Yes, I was sleeved on 1/17 and I'm having the exact same issue! I had it a couple of times last week, but for the last couple of days it's been worse, and also waking me up at night. I'm still on full liquids, so it's hard to avoid the protein shakes, but it's like all of a sudden I'm just not tolerating them. Can't wait to move to the next phase and get more variety. I hope that will help. My doc already upped my omeprazole to twice daily but that did not seem to help.

Have you tried switching to lactose free milk? I was lactose intolerant prior so surgery so nothing changed for me in that regard. I usually stick to lactose free skim milk and use almond milk now and then. In a shake you really can't taste a difference with the almond milk. Plus it tends to be lower in calories/carbs than regular milk.

Does the upset feeling only come after eating/drinking? Or at least made worse or all the same through the day?

It seems to be there the majority of the time. I am in the process of eliminating all dairy as it seems to be a trigger or at least make it worse. Im also finding that suger in any amount seems to be an issue. I have a call into the surgeons office to see of they have any thoughts regarding these symptoms. Unfortunately they are not really great about follow up so may have to go the route of my PCP. Thank uou all for the responses.
