Newly sensitive to milk

I am a little over 3 weeks post op, and I am suddenly having problems tolerating regular milk products. This sucks, because I am still on liquids / purées. Has anyone else had this issue and had it go away?  Or am I going to need to stick with soy and almond milk going forward?

It's fairly common. Try a 100% Whey Isolate protein, because these will be easier to tolerate. Unjury Protein powders are 100% Whey Protein Isolate and the only ones I could tolerate immediately post op. After the first ten days, I also did well with GNC Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder. It is not 100% Whey Isolate though so if you are more sensitive it might not work for you. I also do well with hard cheeses and nonfat greek yogurt, which has a lot less lactose then regular yogurt. 

  There is some debate as to whether the surgery causes lactose intolerance or merely unmasks it because we eat so much less food than before. Whatever. Many people can resume milk products by around 6 months. For me, I tolerate them better but still can't have much of them. For example, this week I had a Starbucks reduced calorie Mocha Frappachino and later the same day a slice of cream pie (hey- I'm at goal and in maintenance!) and I paid the price the next day.  

 

The same thing happened to me and, sadly, it seems to only be getting worse. I'm starting to have more and more trouble even with my whey protein :(

I also developed this issue after surgery, and interestingly enough at almost 5 yrs out I took an allergy test for 200 allergens and the only one that was positive was a minor allergy to milk.I never experienced any symptoms before surgery, but god help me if I eat ice cream now :0)

Many have this happen.  I switched to Unsweetened almond milk.  Six months out and it doesn't bother me any more. They said it is due to the amount of milk we are one pre and post surgery.
