Complan & Build Up Post Op

[phatgirl]

Anyone have their sugeon recommend Complan or Build Up for directly post op with gastric bypass? I was in Boots today looking at them and they each had high sugar (complan 27.2g/serving & Build Up 31.2g/serving). Anyone used them? I would think that dumping would be very probable or am I wrong? Opinions and advice welcome!

My diet sheets said that they were an option for the first week post op, but to be aware that in some people they may cause dumping. I tried one of the build ups, think it was chocolate flavour, and I was ok but that might be cos I only managed half of it!

Thanks Shel, I kinda figured early on it would be such a tiny amount that it might cause a problem.

I came out of hospital on Saturday 3 days after having the Intragastric Balloon being fitted,but in the morning i was given a menu to choose what i wanted for lunch and tea,the menu was for bypass surgery patients and i must admit i was suprised to see runny foods on it ,but also on it were complan/build up drinks along with slimfast,so even hospitals offer it.It might be just of its a case of wanting different tasting fluids.
