So, I am about 4 weeks out and am eating "normal" foods. So far, so good. I was wondering about fruit juices, though. I wanted to eat some pineapple today, but wasn't sure if the sugar content would hurt me in any way. So, I decided to just get some canned pineapple and drain the juice, use 3 ice cubes, pour juice in, blend, and make a smoothie/ice type drink. Is this a dumb idea?

I am 19 days post-op. Everything went great, I have been excercising since 4 days post-op, and have been on soft Proteins for two weeks now. I have had no problem eating/drinking so far. Today is my first "normal" food day. Yesterday, though, I had around 4 ounces of skim milk over about a 30 minute time span in the morning. After about 20 more minutes, I went and did my normal workout. 3/4 mile on the treadmill, a few sets of upperbody excercises, and 3 miles on the bike. Afterward, though, when I tried sipping Water, I felt extremely full. I thought that it was because I had just worked out, so I ignored the feeling. The rest of the day, though, I had the feeling of a sour stomach. The thought of any kind of food grossed me out. I didn't eat anything all day, just took my normal supplements. I took some Pepto at night, which made me feel a bit better, but when I woke up this morning, the sour stomach feeling is back. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what could cause this? Thanks for the help guys!

No, it wasn't my first time drinking milk. It was about the third or fourth time. But, perhaps I am developing a lactose intolerance. I had a friend who lost around 160 pounds, due to a combo of eating disorder/smoking/drugs, and after he lost that weight, he developed a lactose intolerance. I will keep that in mind as I go forward. Thanks!
