I’ve only been banded a week and it seems as if I have developed the common post surg lactose intolerance (oh man it was horrible).

Tried the pills and they didn’t work. Doing okay with soy and lactose free milk but was wondering if this will continue forever? Will I have been able to tolerate dairy again

I am a little over 2 months out and can not tolerate lactose at all. I was told that many people develop intolerance and it stays with 80% of them (as per my nutritionist's statement). I find cheese is fine so I stick with that. I was never a big milk drinker so I don't mind at all. My first post-op milk experience had me frothing at the mouth as I PBed it back up, let's just say something I'm not going to try again.

Hmm, you know I havent heard of a post surgical lactose intolerance, but I am a little sensitive to milk since banding.

Not in small amounts. I drink coffee with a dash of cold milk, I can eat cereal, I can even drink a glass of milk. But hot milk, ugh, as in steamed milk in a latte, makes me nauseous every time.
