9 days post op - back to clear liquids

Having some issues with everything running right through me and cramps.  Thinking I may have an intolerance for milk.  Started to  notice something was wrong towards the end of the pre-op diet as I was mixing the protein powder with skim milk instead of water.  Now anything I make with skim milk just is not working.  For the rest of today and tomorrow I am going to go back to the clear liquid phase.  I see my doc on Friday.  Anyone else have this problem?

I seemed to develop an intolerance during the liquid part of the diet with all my shakes based on milk.  I added acidophilus, there is milk sold with this already added.  Since surgery I can tolerate milk again.  Try soy milk, rice milk, others available at the stores.

In the meantime, go ahead and use water to mix your protein powder.  Hope the cramps resolve.

i had trouble with the running through me and cramps but it wasn't from milk.  my doc did have me go back on a clear liquid diet but that was to get my stomach eased out again.  after a month or so i quit having any issues more or less.  good luck to you cindya.  vick

Hi Cindy
 I just joined this group..I had my RNY a little over 3 yrs ago and I became highly Lactose Intolerant after my surgery and I still am. I buy Lactaid Fat Free milk--thats not bad--Soy Milk makes me sick.
You are in my prayers I hope that your problem is just temporary-some peoples are and some aren't like me..

Best of luck with the milk issue. Let us know what your surgeon has to say! Feel better very soon!

I didn't have that issue but others! You will work through it and be so glad you did this. Hang in there!
