I'm still 5 months out from having surgery but I started using whey Protein and have noticed that there is a difference in the brands been doing some research but still haven't pin pointed it down. It's something to do with the lactose and different things they add. It causes serious stomach problems for me too. Hoping to get this figured out by time I have surgery any input on this would be great

I think muscle milk is lactose free.

you should use lactaid milk with you powders, I have been lactose intolerant for years, and love this milk, i get the fat free lactaid milk, its really good, and its not thin like Water, there are powders you can find that are lactose free just keep searching

I am having the same issue.... Everything bothers my pouch except soy... They have a soy Protein powder at GNC with 25 grams of protein... Hope it helps:)

Cool, thanks

There are drops that you can put in your milk to stop that, or you can switch to soy milk which is what I drink it's good for you and you will get your Protein with out the animal fat or mucus that it gives you.

I also cannot drink >4oz of milk without getting ill. I've even tried lactose free milk and have had problems. I just drink it slow to avoid discomfort. I unfortunately am allergic to the bonding properties in soy/almond/rice milk so that's out of the question.

Weirdest thing though: I always drink a grande vanilla roobios latte at Starbucks (half caffeine free herbal tea with half 2% steamed milk and 1 pump of sf hazelnut) so that comes out to about an entire cup of steamed milk and I could chug it without problems. This makes NO SENSE because steaming milk makes it sweeter because it releases more lactose. Go figure. Ps the drink is delicious and a great source of Protein (8-9g) - you guys should try it.

I also can drink a venti (20oz) earl grey tea with about 4oz of half&half without any discomfort, but GOD FORBID I even look at normal milk.

      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.
