This may be a dumb question for someone 6 months out but I'm still not clear on what milk is the best for me to drink. Whole, skim, 2%, coconut, almond? So I just haven't drank any! Help plz.

I do almond milk because regular milk has tons of carbs.

Since the surgery, I cannot tolerate milk at all. It makes me extremely nauseated

what milk is the best to drink.

I'm still pre-op but I like the CARBmasters milk from Kroger. Was going to attach a photo of the ingredients but can figure out how

Per 8 oz it has

60 calories

0 fat

3 carbs - which includes 3 g. of sugar

11 Protein

Also lactose free

I haven't aquired a taste for almond milk yet...taste wayyyy to sweet for me

Not sure if they have Krogers where you are at though!

I also like Fairlife nonfat milk, it has a bit more sugar but does have more protein. I have found this brand at most major grocery stores as well as Walmart and target.

It depends on what you need. Too many carbs and calories in your life? Use unsweetened almond or cashew milk. Not enough protein? Go for CarbMaster or Fair Life (skim) milk.

I personally wouldn't use any regular dairy milk, no matter whether it is skim, 1 %, etc. Too many calories and carbs for me.

Although, I'm assuming you are asking about milk because you are mixing protein shakes. If you are just looking for something to drink and aren't making protein shakes, IMO it's best to stick with calorie-free drinks like water or black coffee (if allowed).

When I do drink milk- which is kind of rare. I drink Fairlife milk. It has more protein than regular milk.

I love the Fairlife! I drink the 2%- it has such a creamy taste and more Protein than regular milk. My only issue with Almond Milk is it doesn't have hardly any protein. Yes, milk has carbs, but we do need some carbs.

Fairlife Milk is how I survive these days! I either drink it hot with diet cocoa mix, or cold with sugar free strawberry syrup. It actually replaced protein drinks for me, and I am so happy with it.

It just depends. I use 1 percent milk. I tried almond milk but I hated it. I love almonds but can't stand the taste of almond milk.

I've long drunk skim milk and continue to drink it post-op. I don't mind the carbs, and 8 ounces has 8 grams of Protein.

It's also easy on the tummy if you have any reflux.

I haven't tried the Fairlife (higher protein) milk. I'll try to find it and try that out.

I use skim milk in my coffee and that's what I drink when I rarely drink it.

I just went and bought the fairvlife milk everyone is talking about. I will try it tomorrow in my shake

I do have Kroger! I rarely go but I will now. I knew about the CARB matter yogurt but didn't know they had milk!!! Awesome thank you!

Fair life milk is awesome!! Thanks for those that suggested it. Less calories and more protein.

Glad you liked it! Like I said, it was a total game-changer for me and goes down so easy. I hope you try sugarfree chocolate or strawberry syrup for a cold treat, or the diet cocoa mix (not the sugar free, diet has fewer cals/carbs) for a hot treat!
