How soon after surgery did you realize you were lactose intolerant?

For those of you who never had lactose intolerance BEFORE surgery. How many of you got it after? And how soon after surgery did it start?

 

Thanks!

First time I drank a glass of milk and was miserable for hours afterward.

 

Good news is cheese causes me no problems at all, other than being a high calorie/fat food.

 

For me it was around week 2-3 once I started doing my protein shakes. So i had to find one pretty quick that was lactose free and didnt make me gag. Now I buy Lactose free milk, and it isnt to bad. But I always have Lactaid close by just in case.

My surgeon told me to try a small glass of milk when I got home from the hospital. I also use lactose free milk.

It took me a few months.  I thought I might be lactose intolerant early on and started mixing my shakes with soy milk...but the shakes still made me sick and I had diarrhea daily.  Then I started to research the protein powder and found out that the powder I was using contained whey concentrate, which means it contains lactose.  When I switched to whey isolate I finally stopped feeling nauseous and the diarrhea stopped.  I can still eat yogurt and cheese.  They use and enzyme while processing them that "eats" the lactose out of them.  I was not lactose intolerant before surgery.

it was a few months. But at the same time I realized that I also dump on milk sugar. I am not sure if I am lactose intolerant or simply can't handle too much liquid sugar.

It was a few months for me. Maybe 3-4 months. I tried a glass of milk and it sent me running to the bathroom. I drink almond milk now.

About a month. I was mixing my protein shake with milk and was so miserable after, I couldn't sleep. It has gotten better now, but it is still not the best beverage choice for me.

A couple of weeks. Yogurt and cheese are fine but milk is a no go.
