Dumping? Maybe?

They did say at the orientation I went to this week that may patients become lactose intolerant after the surgery.  I buy the almond milk at Costco...it's excellent.

I'll have to try the almond milk - I've wondered how it tastes.  Is it similar to regular milk at all?

YOu might be right about that... something to think about for sure.

 Keep in mind that almond milk does not have a huge amount of protein in it....you may have to adjust other things to compensate.   Good luck Laura!!

It could be too much, are you 4-5 wks?
At about 6 weeks I went to about 1/4 cup in serving.

I think if it was lactose intolerance than you would have had it before now. But keep an eye I would suggest that you try just a littl ebit of milk tomorrow and see if you get mild symptoms then you will know better.

Good Luck!

Thanks!  I've been having 1/4 - 1/3 cup for the past 2 weeks actually.  Needed to get the bran in to keep things moving and it's worked really well for me up until today!  I will definitely be nervous tomorrow when I try it again!  I will keep the lactose intolerance thing in mind too.  I was always kind of sensitive to milk, but have always been ok if it was mixed with something like cereal, etc.  Maybe not anymore?  Who knows!

Thanks!

Hi,

I was told bran flakes were very bad for me as a diabetic, should alsways have bran budsm the flakes have too much sugar for those of us who are sensitive.

HAHAHAHAH Laura I love you pouch name.. I named mine Oscar... Oscar the "pouch"..lol..

LOL.. I like that!  I liked Chucky for the stabbing pains and the upchucking (which I actually thought would happen a lot, but hasn't happened yet!  LOL)
