sugar in slim fast shakes / dumping syndrome

Hi

I am preparing for post op diet (gastric bypass) and I am looking at protein powders / shakes.

I know slim fast are rather tasty but I am worried the sugar in it might cause dumping syndrome. Is it best to avoid and try another protein powder?

Thanks

My Dietitian recommends the Slimfast Protein (along with various other protein shakes) and I have to say I was quite surprised when I bought it to see how much sugar/carbs are in it. I've got a variety of other shakes as well to try post-op so I suppose I'll just have to see what works!

I use 1 gm sugar 30 gram protein ensure or premier brand, won't touch slimefast.
