Today marks 3 weeks post op. Starting Saturday, I been getting a cramping feeling anytime anything goes into my pouch. Food, water.... Doesn't matter. Normal?

Have you been drinking milk post surgery? I know I had the same issue and it was because I was mixing milk in my Protein shakes and I had become slightly lactose intolerant. This is a common occurrence among bypass patients. Anytime I would eat anything all day I felt that way when I was drinking milk. I switched to almond milk and after a day or two everything went away. Over time I was able to add milk back into my diet, but I just needed to give my stomach a break for a few months. If you try that and it doesn't get any better or if the pain worsens, I would call your surgeon to make sure he wouldn't want to see you again. They are their to answer questions so use them. I hope this helps a little bit.

If you have any additional questions or if there is anything else I can do, please let me know. My contact information is below.

I have been using milk. I use 1% milk in my protein shakes. But also add it to my soups or potatoes to thin them out. I will have to try the almond milk then. I have my post op tomorrow... So I will mention it too! Thanks so much!!!
