janeaddams 53 Posted March 30, 2015 Hi Lala. My surgery was 6 days ago. My incisions are still pretty sore but otherwise I'm feeling better. I'm fighting the daemons in my head that want ice cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What did you mix your shake with? From what I understand a lot of people have an aversion to milk after the surgery. I was sleeves on the 25th and I've been using Isopure drinks to get in my protein.

NewgirlfromMd 63 Posted March 30, 2015 For those having new issues with milk... I was lactose intolerant before surgery & lactaid milk is a great choice. It has everything milk has, without the pain and discomfort! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewgirlfromMd 63 Posted March 30, 2015 Hi Lala. My surgery was 6 days ago. My incisions are still pretty sore but otherwise I'm feeling better. I'm fighting the daemons in my head that want ice cream. I am 12 days out and I want a pickle so bad! I don't know why, maybe because my post op diet has so much sweet with the shakes, Jello, drinks, and such. Not to mention everything is soft & I guess I am missing chewing. I want a pickle or even a few olives lol! I know it's all in my head & I'm glad I'm not craving something really bad but still. In two days I can start on phase two. Maybe when I can have baked fish and soft vegetables that will get rid of that craving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrystee 838 Posted March 30, 2015 For those having new issues with milk... I was lactose intolerant before surgery & lactaid milk is a great choice. It has everything milk has, without the pain and discomfort! Good luck! I love almond milk in mine! Makes them so much creamier than just with Water. and I would love a pickle right now!!

NewgirlfromMd 63 Posted March 30, 2015 Lol! Glad I'm not the only one with a pickle craving! Almond milk is delicious, but I chose Lactaid because it has more Protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
