How do you make pudding?

My Dr says absolutely no milk.....do you make your pudding with almond or soy? Also I'm supposed to be on liquids for another two weeks but I notice a lot of you are eating soft foods by two weeks post op. How is that going for you? 

Both almond and coconut milk work great iMHO.  :)  Many moons ago, I took a macrobiotic cooking course, and we used to make rice pudding using brown rice and almond milk.  You can also make chocolate pudding using avocado (really!).  http://www.howsweeteats.com/2013/02/chocolate-avocado-pudding-yep-its-a-thing/

When I just had my sleeve, one of my favorite post-op early stage meals was Bariatric Eating's custard recipe.  Unfortunately, it does have milk, but it never bothered me.  I think I used Lactaid brand milk at the time just to be safe, but the evaporated milk was just normal milk.  http://www.bariatriceating.com/2011/11/04/vanilla-egg-custards/

Is Lactaid milk off the table, too?  I bought some recently to try with shakes but I haven't yet.  Is there a reason other than lactose intolerance?

I use heavy cream.  It gives me fat, and it's the best pudding.

Mix in ricotta cheese with the pudding powder, and just enough heavy cream or almond milk to get the desired consistency while beating.  This will turn your pudding into a wonderful protein packed treat.
