My doctors NUT has us not take any lactose products for the first 6 weeks. Only yogurt because it is easily tolerated. I am on skim Lactaid. It tastes great and I can't tell the difference when I mix it with my Unjury vanilla powder. I was also told your lactose intolerance will resolve itself once all your stomach enzymes stabilize however some become lactose intolerant. I pretty much think I will because I was borderline before anyway and both my mother and her mother are.

Because I have been getting up from my bed too much. I have developed a bit of a pain on the side I get out of bed. I think turning and pushing has caused it. I fired up my heating pad and now I feel wonderful. It worked wonders. I have also raised the temperature in my house twice. I feel a little cold

Yes I have been cold also. I'll try the heating pad and see if that helps

Was your side pain the burning sharp pain feeling when you bend over?

i don't have to move at all. And it feels like someone has stuck a butchers knife between my ribs and won't pull it back out.

[cavery77 39]

Yes that's how mine feels. I have to sit just right

Ok, I have a couple questions. I am craving egg drop Soup, but am scared to try it because I don't know how my pouch will tolerate it. Has anyone tried egg drop soup? If so did you tolerate it ok? Is that considered a liquid?

How far from surgery are you?

[cavery77 39]

I ate some but avoided the big egg parts. Just swallowed the small parts. Just don't eat to much

[Beni 1,484]

But if you are on the liquid phase I think low sodium chicken, beef or vegetable broth is it. Surprising I love the chicken broth warm and I eat it like a Soup with a spoon

[finallyaloser 48]

I had my surgery on the 15th

[finallyaloser 48]

I was only on liquids while I was in the hospital. I am on pureed foods for the first 8 weeks.

[cavery77 39]

Then you should fine I think.

I see, are you allowed egg and the Soup is usually thickened with cornstarch? You could always add some Water and strain it. But I am not sure if its okay. I would ask the NUT on Monday. Don't want you to get sick
