Has anyone experienced problem with dairy products after being banded? Seems lately when I drink milk I have horrible cramps in my stomach and chest. I'm taking small sips not sure if this is common.

I am fine with milk! (having to use it for cream of soups) I usually drink silk milk though.

I haven't really heard of anyone having issues with dairy products, but everyone is different.

Not sure what's going on with me lately but I've always been a milk drinker and now can't handle any dairy products. solid food has been a problem : (

I'm ok with dairy but think I'm better off without it ;) which has been hard for me to let go of. I am sorry that you're struggling and I hope it works out. What kind of problems with solids? How far post op are you? I had solids for the first time today and I think it's stuck so I'm not happy but this too shall pass...

yes i have. Ive been banded coming on four months now. i was using skim milk in my Protein Shakes and was ill with pain. i wasnt sure if it was my gall bladder but i was a mess.. anyway, i had to start thinking about what id eaten or drunk that ive not usually had. im not a milk user normally. i cut the milk out of the Protein shake... just had some greek yoghurt... and within 12 hours the pain had gone. so... yes, in my opinion i reckon it does affect some people. i have no idea why but for me it was very painful... nearly crippled me.

Yes, i cant handle milky coffees anymore, cheese and yogurt are fine, and cold skim milk in amounts such as a bowl of Cereal, but warmed, ugh. Nausea followed by gas.

I was banded 4/4/12. I had a fill Tuesday 2.5 cc. I tried mashed potatoes without milk and they actually stayed down. I think I'm going to say away from dairy for a few days and see if I can handle real food again. Thanks everyone : )

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
