Buttermilk has helped my cravings 4 days post-op



Recommended Posts

The sweet shakes have made me sick and I can't even sip on them anymore. I've been craving meat Protein like crazy. My sleeve still feels swollen and a Popsicle definitely fixes that but the only thing that has tamed that craving for salt and meat is 2oz of very cold butter milk with just a pinch of salt. I only bought a small 2 cup container and after 4oz all my meat and salty cravings are gone. I feel the protein in the buttermilk is actually absorbing because my energy level is off the chart now. I have read that animal protein is absorbed by the body 3X more than vegan. My body just does not work off of fruit and shakes. I'm a meat eater. Buttermilk ice cold also feels good to my sleeve too.

Your a brave lady! I've never had plain buttermilk but my hubs likes it. I have to pour mine over hot cornbread!

Interesting. What made you try that?

I'm a dairy person. I love all kinds of cheeses and creams. Buttermilk is cold and feels good going down (in small portions)

I've just found another meaty beverage that feels good to drink. Carrot Juice! I just finished 4 ounces and my stomach feels great. No sugary junk bringing me down. I went upstairs and noticed my 91 year old mother in law (with perfect vision) drinking her daily glass and I decided to try it. It felt really good on the stomach and gave me the feeling of real food.< /p>

      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.
