Why unsweetened almond milk as opposed to regular milk? Is it allergy, taste, nutrition? I've never tried it and was wondering.....Many Thanks!

I realize regular milk has more Protein, but I wanted to see if I like the almond milk in case I end up lactose intolerant post-op. Every so often dairy can be a little weird for me, so I just wanted to be prepared in case it is a no-go after surgery.

Almond milk is lower calorie and it has more calcium/ect on top of Vitamin e. Also it has no hormones and it just tastes good

My NUT recommends unsweetened almond milk also. Less sugars. I'm surprised how good it tastes too! Lately I've been mixing my shakes with just Water. I love the lemon tea but I need to mix 1 scoop of nectar lemon tea with 1/2 packet of crystal light lemon tea with 16 oz. water and lots of ice. Very refreshing!

I use almond milk because it has dramatically fewer carbs than regular milk.

I love the apple one, and thought the caribbean cooler tasted way too fake. And I tried everything, even crushed ice to make it like a slurpee.

The one that really repulsed me was the Crystal Sky. It's ELECTRIC BLUE and tastes like the south pointing end of a northbound cow. Bleah!

      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.

      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.
