Lactose Intolerance

[BalGirl 4]

Hi everyone!! I was sleeved on 2/9 and I believe I have become lactose intolerant. My doctor's office has told me to look into finding soy based Protein products but I don't even know where to start. I know that this may not be permanent and it will hopefully resolve itself in the next year but I wanted see what you guys did to handle this? Any tips on what Protein drinks worked for you?

On another note, yesterday was the start of my puree diet and I was really looking forward to eating a lot of cottage cheese, yogurt, etc. Oh well.

Thank you!!

I have been lactose intolerant for about 20 years. Lactaid brand ( and maybe others) sell lactose free yogurt, cottage cheese, milk, ice cream & probably other products I can't remember right now. They are sold in all major supermarkets. Cabot brand has lactose free cheeses. Also sold at Walmart and major supermarkets.

My nutritionist recommended that my Protein be " whey ISOLATE" and it has worked great. I have purchased some at GNC and the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand online . They are everywhere .At Starbucks is the only time I ask for soy. Hope this helps.
