Full liquids too soon?

Hey guys, I'm new here and am 4 days post- op. Had a bit of a set back in the hospital and it delayed me starting full liquids until today. Well, I was super pumped for my Protein Shake. The hospital gave me a sample of Unjury. I mixed it up per directions and sipped it slowly and thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate flavor. Well about twenty minutes after I had finished half of it...I had to bolt to the bathroom. This has been happening all day now. Is this cause for concern? Do I need to switch back to Clear Liquids until I talk to my doc? Thanks for any and all help!

Clear Liquids again until your tummy settles down. Sorry 😥 Then maybe try another brand or a different type of Protein (i.e. plant vs. whey)

Are you drinking drinking too much too fast? I'm almost 4 months out and it still takes me about 45min to an hour to drink a Protein Shake. They're very filling especially to a new stomach.

I really took my time on it. When I began feeling that fullness in my chest I stopped and put it away for about 30 minutes. I was wondering if I may be lactose intolerant due to surgery?

Thank you so much. I got scared that maybe it was lactose intolerance, which I know is super common in vsg.

Oh ok then I would take @Orchids&Dragons advice about going back to liquids or try a plant based Protein.

I’m having the same issue trying to move to purée stage. Some days it’s great, some not so great. I just retreat to clear liquids for the next day and start over once everything calms down. Seems like it’s all trials and error since everyone is different, but I’d rather be safe than sick all day.

you may be onto something with the lactose intolerance idea - it's not all that uncommon after surgery

The Protein Shakes are pretty thick. You can try some clear Protein Drinks for a few days before trying shakes again. It could be the shakes or meds even the lactose as said above.

Maybe it's just the effect of surgery and toxins and anesthesia coming out of your body and not the Protein Shake?

My doctor and dietitian said absolutely not on the clear Protein Drinks or else I would give it a shot.

Wow it’s so crazy how all the surgeons are different. I was only able to have clear liquids and Protein drinks for a week. Then was full liquids- no lumps for a week. Now on week 3 to 6 soft foods/purée stage. Wonder why no clear protein drinks? I used the premiere protein clear. Good luck to you and I hope you figure out what is causing the issues.

They said because they do not provide any carbs? They want me to have 5 carbs per shake...which is hard to find in plant based protein. I think I really just need to call the doc tomorrow because I'm still having pretty awful issues today and have been on clear liquids since the incident yesterday. It's getting old quick. I'm trying not to get discouraged but any fluids I put in are gone within 20 minutes or so.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
