Suddenly Lactose Intolerant? Help Please



Recommended Posts

I haven't been able to drink milk since my surgery either...:(....I would give alot of money to down a 8 oz glass of Vitamin D!! cheese is okay these days--but the milk brings cramping and other 'issues'.

Hi Daisy,

I think it's too sweet as well, but I put it into the blender with ice cubes to dilute it a bit. I'm viewing it as medicinal and as that, it's easy to get down. I also use the Light but it's still high in calories at 160 each. That said, I need the Protein so I'm going to happily use them!

Hi Bored,

Are you able to tolerate Greek Yogurt? I am really relying on it right now because it's so high in Protein. I've never been a milk drinker but I am hoping that small amounts of cheese will be fine once I get to that stage.

I was able to eat cheese, and Greek yogurt easily, but milk was a no-go. I'm not a milk drinker, but I gave it the good ole college try with bouts of diarrhea following.

Ha! I guess milk would be good if we get constipated! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
