Milk - Yuck!

[kombimel 13]

I gave up milk years ago when it used to give me gallstone attacks. I dont drink coffee or tea and I didn't eat Cereal for Breakfast so I didn't miss it at all. I persisted on the Optifast as it was only a week. I wasn't keen on milk before the surgery but now that I am on "Up and Go" and "Sustagen" that milky taste just wont leave... are we allowed to suck on a sugar free sweet or something? I see the dietician on Wednesday but this mucus feeling is getting me down.:confused2:

try brushing your teeth after you have your up and go or a mouth wash..

i don't have any problem with milk so im just suggesting these things

Hmm... I never had Up and Go or Sustagen or any particularly milky drinks when I was on full liquids. I went through the entire Campbells and Heinz low fat Soup ranges, blending anything that was chunky, until I was allowed mushies. There are so many varieties out there, that I was rarely bored, although you do have to watch the sodium levels as many of them are pretty salty. Breakfast was often a low fat yogurt and sugar free jelly, but as often as not I'd have soup for breakfast too.

Yeah, just dont drink them if you dont like them, have something else.

I think it would be ok to suck on a sugar free sweet or mint (I have the eclipse mints).

Try some V8 juice heated up with some cracked pepper. I've started having this instead of my mid-afternoon coffee.

You can also mix some of the Protein Shakes with Water instead of milk. :thumbdown:
