do you have to drink skim milk?



Recommended Posts

I drink 2% milk now can handle 1% but can't stand skim I know others that had the gastric bypass and they are drinking skim. Do I have to switch to skim or is 1% ok?

It is not considered to be part of a low carb diet. I don't mind not being able to drink it, but I miss eating Cereal. But then, cereal isn't part of a low carb diet either, lol.

It depends how much you drink - I only drink milk in tea and coffee and on cereal. I grew up on skim milk so that's all I use, but if I were drinking milk based drinks like Protein shakes made with milk, then I'd be sure to use skim.

The fat in dairy is saturated animal fat, not one of the good fats! You're better off eating other types of fats and getting used to skim milk if you ingest it by the glassfull.

But if you drink say a cup or less a day in tea and coffee and the odd bowl of cereal, then I would stay with what you like.

If you need the calories you should be drinking Whole Milk instead of Skim Milk. I drink raw, unpasteurized, non-homogenized milk. It's hard to find, but much better than regular store bought milk

This would be great to make Kefir with too!

Kefir is a probiotic cultured milk product. It can be made weak or strong. Personally, I don't care for it plain, but add it to my Protein shakes for nutritional purposes and can't hardly tell it's there.

Do an internet search for Kefir and you'll find lots of info and recipes.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
