Question for those people whose surgeon says "no milk" for some period of time

My surgeon does not allow any milk and said it was because of the sugar in milk and that many people develop a lactose intolerant to it.  I have tried some milk and tried some cream soups and both times had stomach problems.  He does allow yogert but has to be with low sugar and does suggest low cal cheese and ricotta cheese. 

They do have me mix my protein shake with only water and not more than 4 oz because they want it thick and to sit in my pouch to absorb as much vitamins and protein. 

I do find it odd that many dr. are very different on food and or vitamins also.

Good topic Lora!

p.s. gus is so cute!

Great question! I don't understand why I can't have milk on my pre-op diet. I am going to ask that when I go in for all my pre op stuff on 2-15.
