Nearly 2 Wks Post Op ...

And I'm doing great! I was sleeved on Nov. 18. I will admit, the 2 days in the hospital were tough. I also had a hernia repair. Came home and tolerated Clear Liquids really well. No nausea, gas wasn't an issue, and no throwing up. Weighed myself this morning and I'm down 27 lbs. Moved right out if the 300's! Moved to Premiere Protein Shakes this week and they have not settled well with me. Finding that soy milk is working better. Those of you that were lactose intolerant after surgery, did it eventually go away or is this going to be a forever thing?

Glad to hear you're doing so well! The lactose intolerance thing is tricky. I think over time, as you establish better colonies of bacteria in your gut, there's a chance you could get over it. I was already lactose intolerant even before the sleeve so I'm not the best person to answer this since I assume I will always have it, but even for me, it appears to be lessening back to pre-sleeve levels slowly.

Also pre and post op, we're consuming a LOT of lactose in all those shakes. I now do 2 shakes a day and it's much more tolerable.

Keep up the liquids and rest as much as you can. And congratulations
