Hi Deborah, I don't know if I can drink milk or not because my surgeon didn't recommend it. She had me get s/f lactaid, and I've also had 2% Carb Countdown milk. Both go down very easily (and stay down). I only drink 1 oz every 10 minutes, per my doctor's instructions. But it sure takes forever that way! So far, I'm only allowed 3 oz. of food per meal, so that's all I've tried. Sometimes I don't eat breakfast, and sometimes I have less than the 3 oz. because basically, I'm just not interested in food very often anymore. Sounds like you're doing great! ~Cathy
