if you're lactose intolerant, yes. Otherwise, no. Some people do develop lactose intolerance after surgery - sometimes it's temporary, sometimes it's not. I've never had problems with dairy (fortunately!)

I personally had no issues with dairy before surgery but now I can't have much before I get really sick to my stomach. It usually goes away within an hour but its pretty awful while it's there... enough to ruin plans.

I did not develop lactose intolerance post-MGB. But I know some people that did; however, it resolved 6-12 months later. I hope that turns out to be the case for you, Fatgirlfedup.

Hi ladies. Just wondering how you are doing post MGB conversion? I have been considering for a while to convert my BGS to MGB. But I’ve been worried about some of the side effects.

Nova, how have you been post surgery? Is the lactose intolerant still real? How much weight have you lost? Any other side effects to report? What would you say The big difference is that you’re feeling with the MGB as opposed to the sleeve?

      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.
