Could I dump on a low carb slim fast shake?????

I drank a whole can over 1 1/2 hrs and then about 1 hr later I sure got sick. I think I dumped??? I just had surgery 9/ 26. I looked and it did say 9 grams of fat for the whole can, thats too much isn't it ???? Before I could only drink 1/2 can so I think I got away with it. Also how long before you can wear a bra???? My breast are so big my shoulders are killing me BUT when I try a bra on it hits a top of my insecion. Pam

Hi Pam , I'm not sure about the low carb Slim Fast but regular Slim Fast has TONS of sugar and that is what would make you dump not the fat. I would say yes on the 9 grams of fat per can though I think that is a little high. Have you tried high protein shakes such as EAS or Atkins? I use ISOPURE powder (I buy mine at GNC) that comes in 3lb tubs and I mix mine with 2% milk. I just couldn't hack the fat free milk..ick! The powder is pretty good and mixes up well no clumps..it comes in several flavors but I've only tried chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. My personal fav is chocolate or strawberry. I'm not too keen on the vanilla. There's another really tasty protein shake out I forgot what it's called I'll ask my Angel. It tastes like a frappicino (totally screwed that spelling up!!) it's pretty good but they don't sell them around here. AchieveOne (they have a website) that's what it's called and if you like coffee or frappicino's you'll love it. Take care, Jamie

I believe that you can dump on protein shakes. For some reason I get that yucky feeling after having one. Not often, but it does happen. I think when I use milk in my shake, Normally I use water, but I try to get some soy milk in on occaison. If I drink it too fast then I get to feeling really bad. I don't throw up or get stomach cramping, just shaky, warm, and feeling yucky. it could be the fat in the Slimfast, I dont think 1-1/2 hours is too fast though so the timing probably wasnt the problem. I would also suggest trying a better protein than slimfast. They are good for a quick fix if you are out and need one, but a good whey protein is best. AchievOne are great in taste, but again are not whey protein, so dont use them as sole intake of protein supplements. Check the fat and sugar contents, the lower the better. There are a lot of good whey proteins out there low in both!! Good luck! You can check websites like www.dpsnutrition.com or vitalady.com and bariatriceating.com Have a great day!

Could also be the lactose, Pam. Canned shakes made me sick for the first few months because of the lactose. I have no problems with them now and have at elast one per day. Good luck! Hugs, Tracy

Hey pam, I have read posts that people do dump on the slim fast low carb shakes. They are higher in fat, and sometimes cause people problems Scott
