How long post op before you started using milk for mixing your protein drinks? I have been using water but can no longer tolerate protein drink mixed with water.  I am five months post op and just looking to drink protein drinks again. Thank you in advance for all your replies.

I used skim milk immediately, never used water. Did not have any problem

I used skim right after I got home for hospital.  Tastes somuchbetter that way.

My doctor had me start drinking protein drinks with 1% milk at 3 days out. I've tried protein mix without milk and they were horrid. I now use greek yogurt instead of milk with my protein mix. Keeps me full a lot longer.

The milk gets to me (nausea) at a month out, so I use unsweetened almond milk.

Immediately.  As a matter of fact, I am 7 weeks out and use milk as my protein drink.  It tastes so much better, and I can pronounce all of the ingredients!
