Ok I deliver dairy products to a convenient store chain . My 70 yr old mother and my wife get diarrhea when they drink milk . Since the regular milk made them sick they changed to lactaid .

One day I brought some 2% in a carton instead of a plastic container . Well , both my mother and wife drank some of the milk I brought in the carton . Amazingly , neither got sick and up to this day they both drink regular milk but only out of a carton . It might be worth a try : )

I bought some samples of whey-free Protein Powder and some dairy free bars today. I am pretty sure this is a dairy issue. Since whey is milk and I'm constantly consuming it between the shakes and bars, this has to be the problem. I took a Lactaid pill then ate about 1/4th of a Quest bar this morning. 30 minutes later, my intestines started getting rumbly and I needed the bathroom quick. Lactaid isn't doing the job for me, though I know it helps many of us with dairy problems. I'm so sad because I am going to have a hard time getting the Protein requirements met without dairy products. Being sick and terribly gassy most of the day is worse though. I hope I can get this under control.

All of you lactose Intolerant people, I have a simple solution for you. Go get some lactaid pills at the store, and take two along with your first sip of the shake, and you should be good to go. I've been lactose intolerant for years and this is what I do. It works.

I'm 8 weeks post op and over the past couple of weeks I have developed bowel issues with my chocolate Protein Shakes that I drink on the way to work. I can drink the vanilla and Cookies n creme with no issues. Some days I think my sleeve is just being picky.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
