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.

      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.
