Non-Dairy protein suggestions



Recommended Posts

Thank you so much everyone! And Dee, so great info, thank you!

I can't have any of the meats during soft food stage (turkey, chicken, etc), but will definitely be trying a lot of the above.

Body Fortress also makes a soy Protein I believe. I've seen it in the store before. If you are allowed to have Decaf coffee, the vanilla is great in place of milk and sugar.

Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions/advice on non-dairy Protein. I'm in the pureed stage, moving to soft foods soon. I feel like all I eat for Protein is dairy stuff (Protein shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt). Maybe once in awhile I get protein from a few Beans, but it's not the majority. My stomach seems upset quite a lot and I think it might be from all the dairy.

Any ideas out there for other sources? I do not eat fish, so no talapia, baby shrimp, etc.

Thanks!

I am allergic to the whey as well and can't stomach most of the milk/dairy products. After enough pain, and I am 6 months out, I finally said enough is enough and a week ago I bought Jarrows Organic Brown Rice vanilla flavored Protein powder for $9.99 (2 Tablespoons have 11 grams of protein 29 servings). Sometimes I double it, making 22 grams of protein. I use my tiny blender and it gets pretty thick so I make it like 4-5 ounces.

I also bought Now Sports Egg plain flavored Protein Powder which is a high quality protein for $15.00 (2ounces or a scoop has 16 grams of protein and 27 servings). The one I bought is plain at 16 grams of protein for a scoop. There is a vanilla crème flavored one that has a bit more protein to the scoop.

I wish I had done this sooner. I am no longer having the stomach distress since I switched from whey and other milk Protein Shakes and I actually feel better like the nutrition is finally reaching my cells.

Now, I aspire to eat like Dee_1111 getting my protein mostly from foods, and good food at that! But for some reason even after being 6 months out I am only taking in approx. 500 calories ( just get too full). I am hoping now though with my recent switch and reduced stomach distress, that this will help me boost my calories up to 800, and only use my alternative protein powders to help me reach my protein and nutritional goals.

I ordered my protein powders from Piping Rock online. Hope this helps!!!

Since surgery, I like plain old split pea Soup. I sometimes add a little black pepper and/or liquid smoke for more flavor.

Have you tried the vegetarian meat substitute? It's really processed soybeans that are dried and flavored like beef or chicken. When you add hot Water and a lot of imagination it almost tastes like ground beef. It likes to take on the flavor of whatever it's cooked with. It's sometimes called textured vegetable Protein, or TVP. You'll have to watch the salt content, if that's a problem. I've found it branded by Augason Farms at our local Wal-mart stores in their food storage or large food quantity/container aisle.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
