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?

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!

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!
