Question:
At 3 days post op (lap rny) I seem to

I'm on a full liquid diet, and that includes a lot of milk products. Last night I tried Carnation Instant Sugar Free and it went down fine, but within half hour, it came up in chunks like curtled (sp) milk. With water or juice, I burp up just bubbles and liquids. Today, I tried sugar and fat free yogurt. Again, it hurt terribly and came up in chunks. Its hard to even get my pain meds down because they want to "burp" back up. Drinking some juice now and burping bubbles as I go. Any help would be great! Thanks, Christine    — Christine C. (posted on February 8, 2002)

I'm no expert, but I know a lot of folks have trouble w/ milk. Maybe you should try Isopure clear fruit drinks/Crystal lite etc.

I was told before surgery that there would be a good chance that I might have trouble with milk due to the lactose in it. I had my surgery on 2/1 and have only used lactose free milk. I'll probably try 1% milk eventually to see if I can tolerate it (that's what I drank pre-op). I've had no trouble with yogurt - that's the only other dairy product I've tried so far. Good luck.
