Still opting for 2% milk post-op

I can't bring myself to by the white water....ick. Is this such a BAD place to 'cheat' on? I weigh and measure everything and am super careful with everything I take in.

Try only 1% milk if you can get it since you don't want to try skim.

I'd talk to your nutritionist if about this being okay.

Take care.

As I have a hard time getting in all my calories and can often loose weight very easily now, my surgeon and nutritionist told me to drink 2% milk and whole fat things like sour cream, mayo an real butter for the extra calories... But I am past my goal weight of 130.. I am down to 110lbs. And have a hard time keeping the weight up.

I think it's best to give up milk completely. I have and I don't miss it at all. I have soy milk time to time. Less sugar, high in protein and easier to digest. Try it out!

Milk isn't in my program, so I miss it greatly.

But as Chelly said, maybe a good middle-ground would be to try 1%. After growing up a skim milk drinker, I moved to 1% for a while just because it was almost half the cost of skim or 2% and it was WAY too thick for me to handle at first. After a while I got somewhat used to it, but ended up switching back to skim eventually. To me it definitely seemed much closer to 2% than to skim, so may be worth a shot.
