  • You know that's funny you should ask that. I am slightly intolerant (gassy and bathroom) when eating milk products. but after about two weeks post surgery I'm not bothered at all.. Maybe because I eat

LOL because lactose intolerant after surgery. I can have cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese but MILK in anything sends me to the bathroom all day.

I for sure have! I can eat cheese with no bother at all! Loving it!

Mine has gone away, I use 1% milk now to make my shakes no problem at all!!

Sorry to say I have had the opposite - after surgery I discovered I am very lactose intolerant. Annoying when trying to make my protein shakes. I am just hoping this will go away (2 mos. after surgery right now).

I think I'm in the same boat with you. I noticed some problems when consuming protein powder drinks prior to surgery but by the next day they were gone. I am post op 5 days and since having some protein (a RTD shake and unjury chicken soup) yesterday I am still a riot of gas! Most uncomfortable. I am considering an alternate protein choice, not as good as using whey isolate I know, but better than avoiding it altogether to avoid this feeling.
