Some people become lactose intolerant after the surgery, others not. I tried milk a couple weeks after surgery and it went down good, I only had 4 oz. I thought well if that went down o.k. I'll have more. That didn't go well. It was too much. Try a little at a time and see how you feel. Also, drink nonfat, it's better for you anyways.....lol

Actually milk is quite high in fat and calories. If you are planning to drink milk after surgery I would recommend skim milk. You may also find that after surgery milk may not agree with your system.

that is totally up to your body and if it tolerates it. A lot of the foods we could tolerate before surgery, we may not be able to after surgery. So, all I can suggest is give it a try.

I drink milk everyday at least 2 times a day but it has to be fat free milk.

I had to chuckle at this question. If you can handle the milk, I am sure it is okay to drink it. Personally, I used to drink milk. Since surgery, if I have a glass of milk, I can seriously clear a room in seconds!! The gas is bad....I mean BAD! lol My partner no longer allows me to drink milk at night!! lol Best of luck on this WILD ride!!

I love skim milk and drink about 4 8oz cups a day. I am 3 months out.

I am not allowed milk due to its high sugar content, but ask your doctor ir nutritionist.

As the queen of NO MILK, I have to throw my 2 cents in. Fat won't make me fat again, but sugar will. EVery cup of milk (the lower the fat, the higher the sugar) has appx 13g sugar. 2 cups of milk = 1 Milky Way. We can't properly use the dabs of calcium and protein in it, so it's just candy in a white tuxedo. BTW, I thought my doc was NUTS when he said no milk. Milk is a healthy food, isn't it? No. It's to fatten up baby cows and baby people. I was interested in becoming un-fattened, so have remained milk free for almost 12 years. As it is, I AM lactose intolerant, but the only way I know that is by accident. I've lost and maintained 100% of my excess, so I'm not willing to mess with success. And BTW, I LOVED milk. It was my beverage of choice pre-op. But I'd rather be a size 3 than to play with it again.

I loved milk pre-op and I love milk post-op. I had no trouble with it and still drink plenty (1% milk) throughout the day. I really would be lost without it. I wish I was able to do water as well as I do my milk!

Yeah, what Michelle said...'cept I'll add that I will put cream or half&half in my coffee sometimes cuz it has less sugar, is an awesome treat, and that amount of fat in the one "plunk" to enrich my coffee ain't gonna bother me.

I would say fat free milk would be ok but the other would have to much fat content. After having the surgery that is the thing you must watch is the fat and sugar content in foods and drinks...

I was told by my dietician after surgery that I should not drink more than 16 ounces of milk a day and it should only be skim milk... Milk, even skim milk has 13 grams of sugar in it.. You should not drink 1/2 gallon a day...
