Milk and Sugar stuff...

Hi I am just curious if any of you have tried high-sugary stuff (like a VERY small piece of birthday cake on my daughter's birthday or a few bites of ice cream at Valley Fair), and it makes you sick. It does make me sick, and I am glad that it does, but I am just wondering if that is common. Also, for some reason I thought we (almost) all become lactose intollerant after surgery so I have been avoiding milk alltogether. Is this fact or myth?? The OTHER Shelley J. Down 88 pounds!!

Hey Shelley, The only sugary thing that I have tried was sherbert. My tummy loved the sherbert. I did not have any problems eating about a scoope and a half..... The only problem that I have had and yes I did vomit and have the foamies was eating pork. Let me tell ya horrible feeling. I stay away from cake it makes me sick to my stomach if I smell it. Thank God! I drink 2% milk and have no problems at all. What is strange was before surgery I was lactose intollerant and after surgery I am not. I can eat any milk product with out any types of problems. You go girl, you have lost a lot of weight. Keep it up you look amazing! ~Diana~

Hi Shelley, I've tried sugary things a couple of times (just a couple of bites or just one cookie) and it didn't make me sick....which is probably not a good thing! I can also drink milk. I can basically eat/drink anything but don't have the taste for most things. I actually crave beans, especially Popeye's Chicken type, which I found in a can (New Orleans style is real close). Don't really want much meat/eggs either. I like chicken salad (real finely chopped) and the fish with creamy white sauce at oriental restuarants. I made a mushroom/chicken soup that was really good--my grandson loved it to. Good job on the 88 lbs. I'm down 74 with 40 more to go. Hope to lose at least 20 more by Oct (my daughter's wedding).

I have had no problems with anything I have tried. Well, I have tried plently here and there. I needed to know what would make me sick and what wouldn't. As there are quite a few people who do not know i have had this surgery done and I wanted to know what I could handle. As far as the lactose intollerant I was never told to stay away from it and was never told that most people could not handle milk. I was told to eat cheese for protein by my surgeon. Good luck with everything! Brooke 265/188/130
