Who's drinking milk? My RN and surgeon believe that after RNY that people become lactose intolerant, but my nutritionist disagrees. I've been adding 8oz of 1% milk to my Protein Shakes and have been ok but when I made a Protein shake with only milk I got nauseous (but I did drink too fast as well). My nutritionist said I could have skim or 1% but I've been bad when I get a latte and get 2% because we don't have 1% at starbucks (where i work) and skim is gross with espresso ;/

Milk is not my friend anymore. I found Mootopia' date=' it's lactose free, tastes like milk and 12 grams Protein per 8oz![/quote']

Is it anything like lactaid? Because lactaid does not taste good or like milk :/

Not sure about Lactaid, never tried it. I used to drink a gallon a milk in 2-3 days before surgery, I missed milk but this Mootopia tastes so good. The chocolate milk is high in sugar though

Yeah I'd go through a gallon in 2 days too haha, I'll check it out though. How much more does it cost than milk? Milk is about 3.00 where I am

I drink milk with no problems. I was told before surgery that it is possible to become lactose intolerant after surgery. But even if I did it could just be temporary.

Yeah my nutritionist's opinion is people only become lactose intolerant if they stop drinking it all together, so the sooner you introduce it back into your diet the less likely that is. The weird thing is now if I have a sip of milk by itself it tastes weird to me and I used to drink 1/2 a gallon a day. Tastes fine mixed with my Protein though

      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.
