Lactose intolerance after sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced lactose intolerance after their surgery? I am finding myself sick and crampy after just a sip or two of anything dairy which has sucked tremendously since I was moved to the full liquids. So yogurts, creamed Soups are all making me sick. I had my surgery on 11/30 and I am supposed to be on the full liquids for another 2 weeks! Any suggestions on what else I can have in this stage that won't make me sick?

chicken or beef broths. My husband made chicken & beef Soups (with the meat in them) before surgery & froze them. He strained some of the liquid from each so I'd have a flavorful meal. This way, the rest of the family can eat with the Protein & I could get the liquids down.

For what it's worth, I'm almost 3 yrs out post sleeve & my lactose intolerance has actually gotten worse. It's a daily struggle because I love yogurt & cheese!

That's a common occurrence that happens to a lot of post WLS patients. For me I was lactose intolerant before it but for some reason now it's not bugging me! As for something you can eat, you can puree meats with hot broth!

I switched to lactose free milk after surgery....no issues....in small amounts, like ice cream once in awhile, no issues
