I had my band this morning! Yippy!
So, I left me packet at home...can anyone tell me what I can have to eat? Can I mix protien powder with soy milk or non fat milk?
I'm very excited about this new chapter in my life!

I found out I was lactose intolerant following surgery which was hard on the "whole milk" gal!!! What has helped is the lactaid pills I take daily. I also drink lactaid milk, can't drink soy as it messes with my thyroid mediction.

I love my milk products but get a little sensitive if I drink a big glass of milk, but I had RNY so sugar isn't my friend. Not sure what you can/can't have - but I'd think it would be similar to the VSG? I'd think you can mix it with whatever you can tolerlate.... I use water for some of mine.

I was allowed to have full liquids on day 5 after surgery. I had what I thought was great protein powder but it turned out that it wasn't lactose free. Some of the protein powders have digestive enzymes or no lactose. I had terrible runs until someone here told me it might be lactose intolerance. I switched to Muscle Milk Light and that worked great until I was able to digest things more easily. I still use either Trader Joe's Unsweetened organic Soy Milk, or light Almond Breeze with only 2 carbs per cup. I can now tolerate other dairy like cheese, cream, half and half etc, but I haven't done regular milk as I gave that up when I went Vegan the first time in 1990.
Play around with things and see what you can tolerate.
I'm not sure about the Band because I have a Sleeve. I know my Kaiser does that band as an outpatient procedure and you go home a few hours later. I think I could have gone back to work on day 5 but waited until day 7.

welcome to the loser's bench Redhedgrl!
Take it easy, sweetie, and call your surgeon first thing to find out what you can eat. (We all can offer advice, but you have to decide whether or not to follow YOUR surgeon's guidance).
