Switched to Soy milk...feeling better

[mannapanda 0]

I was banded on Tuesday, April 26th and am on the two week post liquid diet. It consists of 5 carnation instant Breakfast, which are mixed with milk. So, since my surgery I've had some awful gas. Walking did help, but in my binder that they gave me it also said that you may become sensitive to dairy after surgery. I was so bummed when I came to that...I know it doesn't happen to all, but I think that was contributing to my issue. I love milk and dairy! I've tried soymilk before and just couldn't stick with it. But, now it's different...I feel like I'd rather try and get used to the taste of soymilk before having to deal with so much gas again. It's day two of soy and going well....quite a relief!

I have the same problem with dairy. You might also look into the lactose free Protein Shakes - Isopure and Muscle Milk Light are 2 that I've tried.

I think rice milk tastes better than soy if you never get use to it.

I would also recommend almond milk...it tastes so much better than soy milk.

Yes, SILK makes an almond milk which is very good, they have vanilla and dark chocolate flavored which are so good! Also try Coconut Milk which is really good for you too
