Soy milk versus skim milk



Recommended Posts

I researched, and soy milk brands have different amounts of carb in them. I found a low carb soy milk that I plan to use. Some people are lactose (milk sugar) intolerant after surgery so that's probably why your surgeon is saying soy. I'm hypothyroid and haven't had a problem with synthroid interference, but then again I'm also drinking soy in moderation--not every day.

For me the problem with soy milk is it has less Protein. But I do love raw, unpasteurized milk you can get here. There's been a lot written how much better it is when the Proteins haven't been heated. The guy at the healthfood store told me he's lactose intolerant but can drink it just fine. It sure tastes different, it's my favorite.

Do you know of a clean/safe source online where raw milk can be purchased? There is whole foods store nearby but I don't think they sell raw milk. I have read so many good things about it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
