I have noticed alot of people are against milk due to the carb/sugar that is naturally in milk. I use non-fat milk at the recommendation of my surgeon and nutritionist. After I got some negative reaction to a post where I mentioned I use milk, I asked my surgeon about it. She said that milk is a very good source of protein IF your system can tolerate it. That the carbs are not high index carbs and the benefit is a good one to drinking non-fat milk AGAIN only IF your body is OK with it. I know that alot of people have problems with dairy especially milk after surgery. I also know that I do not. I enjoy non-fat milk and have decided that if my surgeon is OK with it, and my body is OK with it, so am I. I am extremely careful about my carb intake with other items I <!--more--> nourish my body with. I believe some of the posts that are very explicit about using water to mix protein are for those that are having difficulty getting it down OR having trouble with protein shakes. And it is wise to try mixing it with water to be sure you are not having a bad affect from the protein powder and not the milk if you are mixing it with milk. Separate out the two to see which is causing a problem. Best wishes to you, Kate O RNY 11-20-03 @ Stanford Univ. -80 LBS Pre-Op -15 LBS Post Op (At last weighing) GRAND TOTAL 95 LBS Hi Danny,
