Milk doesn't irritate my stomach, but it does produce some noxious gas. Macadamia nut milk is also an alternative if you want something other than almond milk. Also there is something called A2 milk that comes from certain breeds of cows and has a different Protein content than most milk, but it won't help if you are lactose intolerant.

I hope this helps.

Milk definitely messes with me but that's because I'm lactose intolerant. However, I did read than many people are lactose intolerant after surgery even if that was not the case before surgery. My stomach sometimes feels irritated when I have regular milk which is closely followed by bloating and gas. You could try Fairlife milk which is lactose free and is higher in Protein than regular milk. It works really well for me. Or you could consider carrying some chewable Lactaid tablets with you when you're out if you want to get a coffee.

Hopefully it's just the lactose because that's the easiest to work around. Good luck!

Try the A2 milk. It is supposed to be easier on your stomach. I've not tried any of the commercial ones but we get some local and haven't had issues with it.

Try pea milk! Sounds super weird, but I discovered it at Target and it's creamy and delicious. Cashew milk is very good, too.

Has anybody noticed Carnation come out with something they call "Cooking Milks" it's in the evaporation milk aisle. I know I did see almond,there. So May be trying to corner more of the moola out there.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
