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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
