Ok so i have been drinking fat free or skim milk since surgery. I just realized it has 12g sugar per serving. Ugh. Doesn't make me sick but my weight loss has slowed down. What do you all drink?

Have you tried Fairlife Milk? It is lower in sugar. That might be an option.

Oh! It never occurred to me to read the label on fat free milk!! I don't drink milk but I use it when making scrambled eggs every morning and in a few other recipes.

I drink mostly Water. But some days I just get sick of Water. Crystal light is a good option for me. Have you looked into any of the almond milks or soy milks? Do they have fat free options? I wonder what their sugar content is.

I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk in my coffee. 30 calories per cup, little sugar.

I second the recommendation for Fairlife milk. It's ultra-filtered to have fewer carbs/less sugar and more Protein.< /p>

Another vote for Fairlife! It's got more Protein and less sugar than traditional skim milk. Of course it's going to have some sugar- all dairy products do.

I do prefer it over almond or coconut milk at this point because I usually need those 13g of Protein to put me into the desired range.

Fairlife's marketing team is really missing an opportunity... we should all be in a commercial! :D

I like almond milk but prefer the taste of Fairlife.

Fair life all the way for me (Lucerne Protein Plus is the same product by a different company).

My problem with the almond, cashew, etc milks is the Protein is negligible.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
