Lactose and Whey intolerant - Protein options?



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm getting banded sometime in July and am starting to try to find my Protein shakes (and bars for later). I am lactose and whey intolerant and was wondering if anyone else was also, and if you have any recommendations. Thanks!

Muscle Milk Light is very good. The only one I didn't care for was chocolate. Now there Chocolate Milk flavor is very good though.

Just google Muscle Milk Light, and start searching for the cheapest price.

I use Isopure (chocolate and vanilla - I didn't like the fruit flavors). I also like Muscle Milk Light but I did have some issues with it right after surgery (now, it's fine). I buy the powder and mix it with Vanilla Light Soy.

Muscle Milk is low lactose but contains whey. The OP is lactose and whey intolerant.

Muscle Milk contains Whey !

I looked up Muscle Milk Light, and 2 conflicting answers. (MAYBE IT DEPENDS ON THE FLAVOR, I HAVE NO IDEA.)

One had no types of Whey at all in the ingredients. The strawberry had several different kinds listed in the ingredients.

So I looked at a jug, and I don't see any Whey ingredients listed.

That's the best I can tell you, Wright of the Jug.

This might sound really weird, but you can also get hemp Protein. Because I have hormonal problems, I shy away from whey protein and also soy as welll, and I use hemp Protein Powder. It's a little expensive, but it's great! I just had to get over it being 'hemp.' It doesn't mean you're eating pot.

Isn't that weird at first... Because that's what it sounds like.

If you mean MUSCLE MILK I don't drink that. I only drink MUSCLE MILK LIGHT.

Let me know if I can help you.

Also look it up on ebay, and then scroll over the Ingredients.

Shirley,

I looked at the manufacturers website for Muscle Milk Light. It contains whey. What type of Protein does the label for the one you drink say it has in it? What flavor is it?

I'm interested because I can't have whey and am looking for a new shake.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
