I use to love to drink milk, it was my favorite. I would drink a gallon of 1% milk every 3 days. After surgery I have not been able to even stomach the sight of milk. I want some so bad but then I just look at it or smell it and I am grossed out. I am 3 months post op..... Will I ever like milk again???

I don't know, but I am going through something similar with coffee... I always loved coffee, especially my first cup in the morning... I had a half cup two weeks after surgery and it just tasted... "flat"... Now, I have one cup of tea in the morning... No more, and no coffee... It doesn't make me sick, I just don't much care for it...weird.

I didn't drink milk for several months, like you. Was able to reintroduce in small dosages about 4 months. Don't try drinking a glass but put a little in something you are drinking. If you get sick to your stomach maybe you are still intolerant.

But, there are some whom never get back to drinking the stuff.

Good luck!

I still have a problem with milk. Like you we are big milk drinkers in our family. For my husband and I, it was our drink of choice. We would go through 5 gallons of milk a week, 1%. After getting sleeved, I couldn't drink milk at all unless it was part of a Protein shake. Then I couldn't drink it at all so I switched soy then almond milk...not the same but at least it was something. I still can't drink it straight but I can have it in tea or coffee or to greek yogurt to thin it out or oatmeal or grits. But once a month I try a glass to see if I can handle it. Its been 9 month still no go but I am not giving up!

I used to have a problem with tuna but at 6 months I had no problem. My nut said that some people become intolerant to food on a temporary basis. That if something doesn't sit well to try again a week or two later.

      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.
