Thanks Hannah I had this op to be healthy and to help weight loss not to lose it all and end up unhealthy with a eating disorder. I'm trying a glass of cold milk this morning going to try my calcium tablets again I will get over this fear it will just take time and when it gets stuck it's a massive set back for me but I'm learning thanks Hannah it helps to talk about it without being judged it's why I love this forum xx

Oh absolutely sip sip sip, not full mouthfuls, sorry didn't realise you were so soon out - anything you have must be able to go up a straw, nothing thicker! Soups with marvel or cheese added, sieved to remove lumps, we were told we could have runny NAS custard - sainsburys do sachets of instant NAS also aunt Bessie's do one but make sure it is the NAS one!
If cold milk doesn't go well then try it warmed slightly, sometimes cold things don't go well. Also try thinned down yogurt - total Greek is good as high in protein but you need to thin it with milk.
Readybrek we could do but very runny - again it should be able to almost go up a straw.
Don't try purée or soft foods yet - at least 2 weeks on liquids but I would stick at that stage until you tolerate it.
Keep volumes small - I got a childs plastic beaker that held 200ml and it would take me a 1-2 hours to get that down to start with. Please be careful with dehydration, as @starryeyed said you really need to make sure you are hydrated otherwise it can cause serious problems. I wrote everything down and how long it took me to drink it as well as what time I started. I recorded all volumes as well so I could see how much I had had and if I was managing to increase the volume over the course of a week.
Let us know how you got on with the milk.

@Louisex21 protein drinks, nas squash and thinned out yoghurt it does really need to be water consistency. The coffee will burn your stomach lining which is why you might be throwing up. We all have had addictions but you really need to fight the head battle on this one. Sorry if it sounds harsh but it can't be sugar coated lol. X

@starryeyed I said this in a previous post I was addicted to Pepsi and now addicted to coffee and that's why I had this op to break the circle even though it's no sugar in coffee it's still caffeine addiction and I'm fighting it I haven't had a coffee this morning and took vitamins and had glass of milk x

@Louisex21 if you are having diarrhoea after milk you might have become lactose intolerant post op - keep an eye on it, if it happens every time you have milk try some alternatives, maybe that is why you have felt ill with milk?
Or, it might just be because your insides are inflamed still after not having to process anything for so long - or with the caffeine as @starryeyed said.
Keep going and let us know how you got on with GP and what you manage to have this afternoon. Baby steps forward!

@Louisex21 i know @Want2b3 suffered with milk after surgery she may be able to give you an idea of what she was having during the first stages

@Louisex21 Can you try some almond milk? Or soya milk? Can you see @Want2b3 diary? That might give you some ideas.
What about trying some soup? or broth? That might help if it is the milk causing an issue? Even frozen NAS squash to suck?
