Thank you. I'm going to look into these. It's been so hard to find online.

Hello I am getting a revision from a lap-band to sleeve and don't drink dairy. I'm sensitive to milk proteins and lactose, I get an immediate breakout of cystic acne and bloating. The hospital I'll be going to mainly stocks premier protein post-op. I currently use a protein powder KOS, its vegan and offers 20g of protein with minimal carbs, fat and is low calorie, it is just very thick for post-op. I've looked around on amazon and found some already made vegan shakes but many have a ton of carbs, are high in fat, high calorie and don't offer at least 20g of protein. What I'm looking for is a protein shake that doesn't have milk or lactose. These tend to be vegan. At least 20 g of protein per serving, 5 or less carbs, no more than 180 calories, and low to no fat. Oh and if it used a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit instead of artificial would be great. I don't think this shake exists but any suggestions would be great.
