I am eight weeks out from surgery and to date everything has gone really well.

over the past week I have had several episodes of sudden onset diarrhea, bloating, cramps and wind. This has been bothering me as you can imagine! I think I may have developed post operative lactose intolerance. I am starting to eliminate milk and milk products from today to test this out.

I have researched a bit online and find conflicting views on whether or not yoghurt is a no no for lactose intolerance. I love my Greek yoghurt and it has become a Protein mainstay in my diet. Do I need to farewell it?

The best way to tell if your body tolerates it is, well, if ti tolerates it. That is why I suggest a daily journal that not just tells wha tyou ate - but a general note of headaches, cramps, excessive gas, runny stool, etc...while your body "learns".

Has anyone tried almond milk unsweetened with their Protein Drink it is absolutely delish! just add a little cinnamon to the vanilla or chocolate or maybe a little instant coffee, I also add about 5 drops of liquid stevia.

I am lactose intolerant was before and still am after I use semi skimmed lactose free milk and also alpro hazelnut milk.

Its actually made from hazelnuts and Water which is good in say my chocolate cookie shake.< /p>

Look up and see if you can get lactose free stuff some of it taste bland like the cheese but I am in the uk maybe you will have better luck.

I tried other things like soy and stuff but honestly I hated milk/milkshakes/hot chocolate before the op anyway so the fact I have to drink shakes everyday now is hard work I hate them!

Good luck it’s a bit of a pain some medication they suggest after you can’t take if your lactose intolerant and the stuff suggested to eat is like nope no no no like the cheese lol

      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?

      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.
