Cow's Milk or Almond Milk?



Recommended Posts

When I had my pre-op class the nutritionist told us to use cow'smilk and not almond milk. That's fine unless your watching your carbs.

Just wondering what everyone else using and why? Has anyone told you not to use Almond milk?

Let's discuss this. :D

My dietician said we could use either. I use cow's milk only because that's what I have always had. Although, I haven't had that much milk since the surgery.

My dietician said cow's milk, no almond milk. dry.gif I really like Almond milk and it is as low as 40 cal while skim is 90. But... almond milk only has 1g Protein and skim milk has 9g.

I hadn't heard this either but I have 5 boxes of almond milk waiting on me to get out of the clear stage!

Well I was thinking we get our Calcium from the pills/liquid we all take. And I know I get plenty of Protein per day, so I don't really need the protein in the milk for my shakes. So was thinking of using Almond milk instead to save calories and carbs.

      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?
