Hi Kylea..

I used to have about 2 cups of skim milk a day.. it was the major contributor to my proteins.. i could not keep the clear liquid Protein Drinks down..

I also used to have fat free yogurt.. thinned/whisked with 2 parts water..

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!

If you are on full liquids give it a try. Go slow though as many have intolerance to milk after surgery.

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.

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.

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>

My doctor won't allow the skim milk our mootopia, too much sugar in both. I use Water or unsweetened almond milk. 30 calories

I use skim plus. 5.5 grams of Protein per 4oz.

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.

      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.
