6 days post op. Got out of hospital last night and still scared. Had gal bladder removal at same time and still really sore. Will i be able to stand milk and juice for 3 weeks - already craving something more tasty - am scared wont be able to keep control...

I also had my gal bladder removed during sugery. I couldn't handle milk after surgery and am 9 months out and still can't handle milk. Dr. says that is due to my pouch not the gal bladder. Each person is different on the milk. Your pouch will keep you in control. Follow the post-op diet and do what the Dr. tells you and everything will be fine!

Hang in there - I wish you the best of luck.

You'll definitely know when your pouch doesn't agree with you. Take it easy. It gets better after another week home.

I can't drink milk at all anymore 10 wks out. It will get better! You can stay in control and you will. Good luck!

I am 7 months out yesterday and can't drink milk or eat cottage cheese. But then, I never could before surgery either!
