I'm almost 3 weeks out and I was wondering if anyone has tried milk.

I'm struggling to get my Protein in and I noticed my milk has 8g of protein and maybe should add some Protein powder to it.

It's a little high in sugar (12g) but I was wondering if anyone has had any? The kind I have is 1%.

I drink four ounces of Fairlife 2% twice a day. Some days plain, other days with Protein Powder and I love it! It is a staple in my fridge and I hope it never goes away.

Fairlife is so good… I was a big skim milk drinker and worried about not being able to tolerate milk after the surgery. I've had the Fairlife chocolate before, but I bought some white and about died. So creamy and yummy! Better for you, too!

It's a little rough to cook with though sometimes.

Milk is full of sugar.

I've bought my last gallon of it weeks before I started the pre-op diet.

The Protein shakes all mix just fine with Water as far as I am concerned.

@@LoseItKacy I was sleeved 9/30 as well. I mix all my Protein powder with milk. It gives me more protein and makes them taste much better for me. My surgeon approves milk and I still stay within my calorie range.

Have you been able to reach your NUT?

I hope you are feeling better soon.

I am glad you have a disclaimer for your attitude as your "signature."

I love milk. But am severely lactose intolerant since surgery 2/2015. My doc told me to keep trying it once in awhile to see if I can readjust but so far, no luck. Yogurt has been a good substitute. I need to try the lactose free milk, but just can't imagine it being the same. Milk has been ok with my doc since day one due to the nutritional value, even with the sugar content.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
