have you tried 2% milk? I found it coated my mouth and helped a lot. It has

around 8 gr of protein in it also, I use Lactaid

Sheryl: I also used nothing but Lactaid skim milk in my first few months

post-op. I didn't have any lactose intolerance or problems with it or dairy.

Now, I'm not saying that drinking Lactaid was the sole reason I didn't have

problems, but I'm sure it helped.

It is true that drinking the milk (and soy milk, too!) adds a nice dose of

liquid protein!

all the best,

Theresa, obviously I have no advice on post-op stuff

but I wanted to let you know I'm pulling for you. As

each day goes by, you're getting closer to the

" normal " life you deserve.

Big Hug,

p.s. I do have a sno-cone machine thingy and I love

it! I guess ice chips won't help you, huh?

p.p.s. Oooooh, I just scrolled down and saw the #16 -

yippeeeeeeeeee!
