If you are lactose intolerant and drink milk or a product containing lactose, within a few minutes you will get an upset stomach and then a quick trip to the bathroom with diarrhea. In my case, lactose intolerance disappeared after about 2 months post-op.

If you are lactose intolerant avoid products with milk or lactose. Some Protein drinks contain lactose, others don't. I used Muscle Milk Light powder and mixed it with Water for my Protein shakes.

My surgeon's office suggested Fairlife milk. ITs real milk without the lactose. Its very high in Protein so 8 oz. has 13 g. Protein in 80 calories (skim). My full power protein shakes with 1 scoop powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor powder is 180 cal. 34 g. protein, 10 carbs, and 0 fat. I most of the time only do a half scoop of powder now, but that is still 130 cal. 24 g. protein, 8 carb. and 0 fat. I am no longer lactose intolerant, but I still use Fairlife because of the protein benefits and I like it in my shakes.

Good luck,

pam

I noticed I had an issue with the artificial sweeteners in those drinks and couldn't stomach those or Isopure Protein drinks. Yuck! I didn't have a problem with milk but I did drink the fairlife skim and added it to my Raw Fit Protein powders. Those are the only ones I can drink and I sprinkle some cinnamon on them. Yum! I am 8 days post op 7/14/16.

My NUT told me that about 50% of people are lactose intolerant after surgery. She warned me of it and I prepared for it but it hasn't been an issue for me. She did say that it tended to be mostly with liquid milk and that milk like Lactaid would be a good option. Or almond milk

I have a similar issue. I take a few lactaid pills with each Protein Drink. I keep them in my mouth to dissolve as I drink. It does the trick for me.

Hope this helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
