Dont judge but I could only wait alittle over a month after surgery to try alcohol. I can say that the buzz hits me alot sooner but its not much different than before. I regularly drink cherry vodka mixed with liquid ice and ive only had one blackout but Chippendales were in town. Oops.
I tried the lactaid pills for lactose intolerance and it has worked amazingly. I havent had any problems with ranch, yogurt or milk. Yoplaid also started making lactose free yogurt but of course with all healthy things it is more expensive. I would definitely try the lactaid pills if you have problems with dairy. You can take as many as you need in any given day.
Im 5 months post-op and I havent been able to eat any dairy since my surgery. Im wondering if other people are having this problem and how common it is. Also, I extremely miss sauces and condiments which make me ill. Anybody have any advice on products that are lactose-free AND sugar-free. Im dying for a salad!
