FishingNurse 1,211 Posted March 5, 2013 yes, I definitely drank a lot of milk after the first week of Clear Liquids and drank a lot of if for 2 weeks straight until I got to mushies... Then I could get Protein elsewhere! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted March 5, 2013 If you are on full liquids give it a try. Go slow though as many have intolerance to milk after surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carrieann70 14 Posted March 5, 2013 My doctor included it as part of my 2 weeks Clear Liquids phase. I discovered I am intolerant post op and feel much better now that I am NOT drinking milk. Every one is different so I hope you have better luck than I did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lissa 2,631 Posted March 5, 2013 I'm lactose intolerant after surgery as well. In 18 months, I've had milk twice. Both times I had problems. That means that ice cream and cottage cheese don't work for me either, which is probably a good thing. I can do cheese without too many problems, but I try not to put too much of it into my sleeve.

Pelekania 156 Posted March 5, 2013 If you have an HEB in your area, they carry a brand called Mootoopia (non fat) that gives you 12g of protein! Just started buying that and choc milk for a snack.< /p> 2 May142013 and jandrfprever32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylea 10 Posted May 28, 2013 My doctor won't allow the skim milk our mootopia, too much sugar in both. I use Water or unsweetened almond milk. 30 calories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benny 0 Posted May 29, 2013 I use skim plus. 5.5 grams of Protein per 4oz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BriDawn 79 Posted May 29, 2013 That was my main source of Protein for the first three weeks. I tried to make Protein drinks but they nauseated me. I asked my dietician and she was actually surprised I was doing Protein drinks. She told me that getting my protein from natural sources was far better for you. I drank probably 5 glasses of skim milk a day. I also added skim milk powder to Soup and pudding for some extra protein. I usually got at least 50g of protein in doing that. And I felt MUCH better than I did when I was trying the protein drinks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
