I'm still 5 months out from having surgery but I started using whey Protein and have noticed that there is a difference in the brands been doing some research but still haven't pin pointed it down. It's something to do with the lactose and different things they add. It causes serious stomach problems for me too. Hoping to get this figured out by time I have surgery any input on this would be great

I think muscle milk is lactose free.

you should use lactaid milk with you powders, I have been lactose intolerant for years, and love this milk, i get the fat free lactaid milk, its really good, and its not thin like Water, there are powders you can find that are lactose free just keep searching

I am having the same issue.... Everything bothers my pouch except soy... They have a soy Protein powder at GNC with 25 grams of protein... Hope it helps:)

Cool, thanks

There are drops that you can put in your milk to stop that, or you can switch to soy milk which is what I drink it's good for you and you will get your Protein with out the animal fat or mucus that it gives you.

I also cannot drink >4oz of milk without getting ill. I've even tried lactose free milk and have had problems. I just drink it slow to avoid discomfort. I unfortunately am allergic to the bonding properties in soy/almond/rice milk so that's out of the question.

Weirdest thing though: I always drink a grande vanilla roobios latte at Starbucks (half caffeine free herbal tea with half 2% steamed milk and 1 pump of sf hazelnut) so that comes out to about an entire cup of steamed milk and I could chug it without problems. This makes NO SENSE because steaming milk makes it sweeter because it releases more lactose. Go figure. Ps the drink is delicious and a great source of Protein (8-9g) - you guys should try it.

I also can drink a venti (20oz) earl grey tea with about 4oz of half&half without any discomfort, but GOD FORBID I even look at normal milk.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
