Need Advice- Non Whey Protein Powders?



Recommended Posts

Well, apparently, I'm allergic to pure whey isolate. Throat kinda closes up and stomach gets all wonky.

I ordered some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (actually, ordered their sample kit) and had high hopes for the chicken Soup and unflavored ones. Now I've got to hurry and find some alternatives. I don't live in a big town so everything needs to be ordered and I don't have a lot of money. Sample options would be helpful too, if possible.

I need some help. Looking at options for ease of use for after surgery. Which is in a week! :blink:

Something that can be used with broth would be nice too. Variety. Nothing too sweet.

I've been searching on here for past posts but am getting bogged down and running out of time!

Thanks for your help!!!

If you have Trader Joe's, they have Hemp Protein, that has no whey or dairy derivatives in it.

You have to watch some of the soy Proteins...sometimes they sneak in whey or dairy for 'enrichment'.

I am 3 weeks post-op and went from lactose intolerant to lactose allergic. I am also allergic to whey Protein isolate and concentrate. It has taken me this whole time to figure this out. I came home from the hospital and broke open the unjury chicken Soup and have felt horrible since then.

I have used Spiru-tein in the past. You can get it at a variety of health food stores, GNC even carries a couple of flavors. They are soy Protein.< /p>

I haven't tried the hemp yet - next stop. I have tried the pea Protein shakes and I really don't like them. Right now I am sipping a homemade concotion. This is the first thing since Water and juice that feels okay in my sleeve.

8 oz almond milk (or whatever)

1/2 c cottage cheese (Lactaid seems to be working for me right now)

2T Peanut Butter

1t vanilla extract (I don't have any syrups at home...yet!)

Ice

Blend

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
