Question:
I have soy milk and soy based smoothie milk, which I thought would be good post-op

to mix my protein power in, but I noticed that there is 13grams of sugar in the milk, and 33grams of sugar in the smoothies. Are you able to have ANY sugars post-op? Are these products ok to use??? Please let me know if I can use them! Thanks.    — januaryrn (posted on July 10, 2002)

I'm not sure about the protucts you are using, but naturally occuring sugar(like in milk and fresh fruit) is OK for us post-op. Sometimes with soy milk there is added surgar to help the taste. Look at the ingredients and see what is listed as the first 5 or so things..

I personally cannot tolerate natural sugars from dairy and fruit products..I get nausea, sleepy tired, feel sluggish and develop severe diarrhea within 30 minutes of eating fruit or dairy. So be careful, use moderation.
