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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
