Lactose intolerance post-op



Recommended Posts

I discovered a few hours ago that I'm now lactose intolerant. It was pretty amazing actually because from the time I had the milk to when I realized I had to go, I'm not sure 15 minutes passed. That's gotta be a record for "food" to pass through me. I say food because I was bad today (day 6 post-op) and tried to eat eggs. Apparently I don't like those anymore. They hurt on their way to my mini-tummy but I blame the healing of the hiatal hernia.

Anyway, has anyone else experienced this? Post-op lactose intolerance..

Thank you SO much! I was beginning to worry because no one had responded saying yes. I'll try fairway.. pretty sure I've seen that in Publix. I'll pass on the egg beaters though. I read the ingredients lossy once and I can't bring myself to try them.

I was sleeved 13 oct 2014.. I became lactose, meat and corn intolerant for the first 6 months after surgery. I can now still not eat corn or anything made out of corn.. But im ok with that ???? everything is all good with meat and dairy ????

I was lactose intolerant until 3 months out. But only like straight milk, yogurt, and premier shakes. I can consume them now with no issues. I never had a problem with cheese though.. which was odd. I did drink lactaid during my lactose intolerance stage.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
