LOL because lactose intolerant after surgery. I can have cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese but MILK in anything sends me to the bathroom all day.

You know that's funny you should ask that. I am slightly intolerant (gassy and bathroom) when eating milk products. but after about two weeks post surgery I'm not bothered at all.. Maybe because I eat it in smaller amounts now??

Sorry to say I have had the opposite - after surgery I discovered I am very lactose intolerant. Annoying when trying to make my Protein Shakes. I am just hoping this will go away (2 mos. after surgery right now).

I think I'm in the same boat with you. I noticed some problems when consuming Protein Powder drinks prior to surgery but by the next day they were gone. I am post op 5 days and since having some Protein (a RTD shake and Unjury chicken soup) yesterday I am still a riot of gas! Most uncomfortable. I am considering an alternate protein choice, not as good as using whey isolate I know, but better than avoiding it altogether to avoid this feeling.

      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.
