Fairlife milk...low fat or skim??



Recommended Posts

Hi. I have 2 questions, First, I have been on food (soft meats) for over a week, and suddenly, I just don't feel like eating anymore. Is that normal? My surgery was June 14. And 2, I have been drinking Fairlife fat free milk, but since I am having trouble getting much food in, should I switch to the whole or low fat instead of fat free? For calories. I see the surgeon on Thurs and a dietition on Sat. Thank you.

The amount of food isn't important, it's the amount of protein! Stay with fat free.

I use regular fairlife. But sparingly. Don't like sugar free or fat free items very much , I really try to eat well instead

Mostly it works. But being human, we all have difficult days sometimes

Fat free milk has more carbs per cup than milk with fat. Plus the brain and skin etc need some fat. I hope small amounts of fat milk will be ok after sleeve.

Ps I think it is normal for some post op people to not crave or want food sometimes.

Such a different feeling than before.

I'm still amazed 10 years later that I forgot to eat sometimes. ......Of course then the beast returns wanting sugar .... it is a constant balancing act

But a different life than 90 lbs ago

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
