All of my bariactric books say use skim milk. I went to make a protein shake yesterday and the skim milk  has 11 sugars and the protein has 2 sugars can I have that.

Hi Amy!
I see you were able to change your ticker! Yipee!! Looks like you're doing an awesome job!

If your bariatric book says you can use skim milk then I'd say it was OK. I use it all the time for cereal and for protein shakes. I probably go through a gallon about every 10 days all by myself.

You are smart to be conscious of the sugar content of everything but just don't obsess about it. Just remember everying in moderation.

You'll be fine. Remember with us, we don't have the dumping syndrome that RNY patients do so you don't have to worry about that part.

BTW, when do you get your first fill??

Hope that helps :)

Hi no fills for me I had RNY and I dumped on a sugar free fudgesicle Dr. said to much sugar alcohol it had 5 so I worry alot about 11 real sugars.

Amy just my opinon on the skim milk, it has to much sugar and you will more than likely dump.  And a lot of times after RNY you will be lactose intolerate.  If I am going to do milk i always use the lactose free milk.  I can handle a very small amount.

Amy,
I am so sorry! I don't know why I thought you were banded! I guess because our surgeries were the same date I thought you had the band too...YIKES...I would never give food advise to someone with RNY because the band is SOOOO different.
Nevertheless....good morning and I hope you are doing well!

I looked at the lactose free milk it had 11 sugars too. I bought light soy 2 grams of sugar
