Lactose problems popped up



Recommended Posts

Okay I drank milk a few days ago about 1 hour afterwards I had mild stomach/intestinal pains. Thought it was just normal gas post surgery. Had eggs the next day and they did not sit well at all, intestinal pain. Drank a premiere Protein Shake tonight for the first time post op And let's just say pain was horrendous and bipolar expulsion was the worst I've had in recent memory. So I am thinking milk and dairy at the moment is not my friend. My plan,and literature,says it can happen.

Anybody else run into this issue?

I had bypass and had this problem. From what I have read it is fairly common and for some people goes away time.

I take Lactaid/Lactase with anything dairy or whey. Makes my life a lot better. I get a big box from costco. Take 3 pills with a premier Protein shake. Just let them dissolve in my mouth as I drink the shake.< /p>

Good luck and feel better.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
