Dear Milk, you delicious dairy drink

I use to love downing you

All alone or with a treat

Plain, chocolate or strawberry quick

Now that I have a band

It seems you make me sick

I'm going to miss you old friend

We've had a great run

But I'm tired of you coming back up

So I'm afraid this is the end

Devastated

I had to say my own good bye to milk many years ago. I don't like the hives it gives me :wacko: It was a hard break-up.

Sorry for the loss of milk! Have you tried the unsweetened almond milk? No dairy and lots of calcium!

Oh no! Maybe with time your love affair with milk can continue. I was a milkaholic (skim at least) but cut back after surgery. I can and do drink it pretty freely now, thank goodness.

Not being able to drink milk would be awful.. Since my surgery I crave milk so bad.

Never a problem as I used milk in my Protein Shakes for the first 3 weeks of liquid post op diet. I used skim and soy milk.

      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.
