Just found this guy at my local Heath food place. So delicious. $3.99 each, very filling. Organic, non-go, and soy free!

Orgain organic Protein shake -the no sugar added fudge- be careful the other favors have added sugar!! But this one is good with just 2g sugar.

Hi super bariatric babe, Your doctor's NUT may have said something different but mine said for the two week post surgery period the Protein had to be lactose free. Absolutely no milk protein. I noticed the one you recommend is a milk protein. Apparently your stomach can't digest milk protein after surgery for a while. It causes stomach pain and I think that's what is bothering a lot of people. I have though of telling them but since i am a newbie and pre-surgery I didn't think I had the street cred. Eventually you'll be able to have it. Soy protein turns out is what I had to buy. Not as tasty.

Sorry, hate to burst your bubble but then you may have been told differently.

Correction. Just read all my paperwork again. It only has to be lactose free. Whey protein which is from milk is fine, my bad

Weird! My nut wants me to drink skim milk!

Well, go with what she says. There are so many approaches out there it's impossible to keep track. mine thinks most people are lactose intolerant and don't know it and lactose is hard to digest. At least now that you know there's this out there be mindful of any reactions you may have. I am only following for the first few weeks, until I heal anyway. Whey Protein is okay which covers most protein out there. I did notice as I went shopping today the Muscle Milk says lactose free but has whey protein (from milk). By the end of this we'll be experts.

All the best tomorrow my friend.
