Lactose Intolerance After Surgery



Recommended Posts

Has anyone become lactose intolerant after surgery? Please walk me through your struggle? Any tips and tricks? I think this might be my problem, and quite frankly it's got me down :-(

I have not. I am not sure of when your surgery was, but just take it slow. Your body is still trying to adjust and adapt. Your stomach could still be swollen, and does not want what you are trying to give it. Things will get better in time! Hope this helps! Good Luck!

I'm lactose intolerant after surgery. I have avoided milk, ice cream, and cottage cheese since those three bother me. I can still eat cheese and yogurt with no problem. I think it's getting better. I had some cottage cheese the other night with a slice of Tomato and it sat well in my sleeve. Rex is finally starting to accept some dairy! Yay! :)

I’m lactose intolerant anyway not just because of this I use lactose free products like milk cheese and yogurt.

You just have to look out for milk sugars in things that’s what disagrees with you, so you don’t have to switch to like soy or anything you can if you want (but I find it kinda yucky) I can have some normal stuff in really small amount like if I run out of my milk I can have a cup of tea with normal milk or if I want some cheese and its not mine I can have it but if you try too much or everyday your going to suffer for it.

      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.
