I hear ya - I was lactose intolerant for about 3 weeks and then it subsided and I am tolerant once again - milk seemed to be the one thing that really got me, hard cheeses seemed to be okay.

Milk sugar is what you’re intolerant to right now so things made with that will effect you.

I am lactose intolerant you can get a bunch of lactose free stuff, cheese milk yogurt even ice cream not that I have tried that but you can get it.

For my shakes I either use lactose free semi skimmed milk or alpro hazelnut milk.

You could be dumping on the sweet stuff (not really meant to have it lol) though its said we don’t have dumping syndrome people do have it.

Cold clammy sweats maybe mouth watering shaky feeling sick?

Not sure if people feel anything else never had it myself to be sure just from what I read about people who do.

i just realized after being extremely sick in the past 5 days and losing another 3 pounds that i am definitely lactose intolerate. i guess i never paid attention to the signs before. I JUST WENT GRocery shopping but for now im cutting out cheese completely.. its big my biggest weakness. my daughter loves her milk and yogurt. i see my pcp on wed so i will def be asking whats the best pills to take. i hate the cramping diharrea feeling. i get cold sweats and chills. it took over me at work on friday. i suppose thats what the dumping syndrome feels like. its so painful and something i dont want 2 deal with anymore. i was getting so scared wondering what was wrong with me. i will def be looking into lactose free everything just to avoid this pain that has taken over me!!!

Yeah I have the pain lactose intolerance for me if I keep ignoring it and keep eating normal stuff its gets worse and worse its really not pleasant!

Other people get bathroom issues and even puke because of it but that’s extreme so for now I suggest switching stuff out to lactose free so you can cut it back and not be in extra pain!

I was just going to get on here and ask about If surgery making me lactose intolerant was possible and I found this thread. I love this site. Lol.

My fave foods ever were all milk based. Greek yogurt, cheese, fat free cottage cheese and so on. Since my surgery (July 27) I can't eat any of it without feeling really sick after. Its kinda depressing. I really hope it goes away..

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
