I wanna be milked!!!
I've heard that some people have issues drinking milk after RNY. I'm not really sure why this happens but am starting to wonder if I'm one of those people. How did you know that you had issues with milk after your surgery? What were your symptoms? I've never had any issues before but I'm staring to wonder if the bloating and gas I'm feeling is from the skim milk I use with my shakes and SF pudding, etc. I love milk and surely hope this isn't what I'm experiencing. I will be sooooo sad if I have to switch!

Bloating and gas could be a sign of lactose intolerance. I was lactose intolerant after my first WLS but since my revision I am not. You can try cutting it out and seeing if that helps. If you are lactose intolerant then you can always use lactaid milk or pills or you could substitute almond, soy or coconut milk for the skimmed milk. I use almond milk for my shakes because I like the taste and texture.
Waaaaaaaaaaahhhh! Those are the symptoms I'm having (minus the diarrhea...I'm completely opposite!) Could it just be possible that its from the gas they used during surgery still? I'm only 8 days post op. Plus.. since I'm constipated...maybe it's just that??? I'm hoping for anything BUT lactose intolerant if you can't tell! hahaha

A note, i ALSO dump on milk (rare) so that might have contributed to the diarrhea (though I don't usually have that as a symptom of dumping)...... combined with the intolerance it might have put me over the edge.

I chased my dreams, and my dreams, they caught me!
Lactose intolerance can actually swing both ways BM-wise depending on the food. E.G. milks, ice cream give me the runs BAD but some cheeses have given me constipation. Lactaid, lactose tablets, alternative milks (almond, soy, etc) really help avoid the pain!
