dairy

band2008 · February 14, 2008

hey does anyone have any problems with dairy post op? i was banded a week ago and my nutritionist said we could have drinkable yogurt on day 4 and milk on day 6 and Protein Shakes. I cant figure it out, but something is causing me to have diarrhaea. Has anyone else had this problem? Also the yogurt is the activta kind (well I have tried both) any comments?? anyone?

Any stomach or intestinal pain or discomfort?

Is EVERYTHING that's dairy doing that?

If you weren't lactose intolerant before, chances are that you're not, but it's worth looking into.

Oh and the probiotic stuff can do that on occasion, especially when you've been on antibiotics for a while. They have a name for that, but I can remember what it is...hmmmmmm

I had the same problem. My doctor told me you can become intorerant and need to have only skim milk,nonfat yogurt, and try lactaid. Ask your doctor first though or go back to the nutritioist with some questions.

Many people have diarrhea for weeks after surgery. If you are not eating solids then you will not be pooping solids.:thumbup:

You beat me to that one, Trystelle. Both DH and I had the same experience, and it makes sense if you think about it. In fact, one of his comments was, "How can I be constipated and have diarrhea at the same time!!!??"
