Ok I need some advice. While I am waiting for insurance approval, I am trying out different protein shakes & am EXTREMELY GASEY!!! Is it just me or is everyone keeping quiet about this embarassing matter?? I have only tried the premixed shakes so far- could that be the problem??? HELP

Some people (me included) have trouble digesting the whey protein that is in many shakes which results in a lot of gas. You might want to try a lactose free shake (Muscle Milk Light or GNC Isopure) and see if that helps.

Try the MUSCLE MILK LIGHT. You can get prices of ebay. That's the best way to go.

Try a soy protein shake mixed with water or with almond milk.

Thanks for your input. I got my insurance approval yesterday!!! YEAH!!!! I'M SOOOOOO XCITED!! will probably b banded sometime between the end of June or Beginning of August- either way, I'm excited to be banded!

If you use the almond milk, make sure to buy the unsweetened or it defeats the whole purpose of the shake. Ditto for soy or rice milk.

thanks for this information. I have been preparing for my pre-op and this is great information for someone like me that is lactose intolerant sometimes.

You're welcome. I also mixed my protein shakes using soy milk to further reduce the lactose. Also, you may find that your lactose intolerance gets worse after surgery...it happens for some people.
