Before the surgery I was LI but in denial because I love everything that is lactose :). Now after, I have been eating less and trying to stay from those triggers so I eat babybel cheese, silk milk (lactose/gluten) free, haven't had ice cream, lactaid cottage cheese and I watch for these foods when I eat out. Before the surgery, I would have gas so bad AND diahreah with it. I thought it was IBS but found out that I don't carry the lactose antibody that some have to prevent attacks. Trying to live a lactose free lifestyle with my new baby pouch, however, I love a Dairy Queen small cone, so pray for me this summer :P

I was lactose sensitive before surgery. Not sure about after but I couldn't do my yogurt I was so excited to finally have this morning.

Yes, I was very lactose intollerant right after surgery and probably for the first year. Now, I can have small amounts of milk. Any more than that and I get horrible gas pains and smelly gas.

ice cream is the worse, It causes explosive diarrhea. I can eat yogurt and cheese just fine.

      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! 😞
