I have been lactose intolerant for some time, and most Protein shakes just wreck my stomach, even with almond or cocnut milk. I ahve tried Trader Joes Hemp protein and Organic protein from costco that is plant based. Is there any others I should look at?

It's probably more than lactose intolerance then bc whey contains no lactose.

Try the Jay Robb ones with egg protein!

I have discussed this with many professionals. Only the high end ultra purified whey protein is lactose free. Many things you can buy locally at nutrition stores will contain lactose.

Ok

Still try the Jay Robb egg protein, no milk products at all

I used a pea Protein shake by Thorne (Mediclear) for my pre-op because there was no way I was going to take the product doled out by the hospital -- dairy based and full of artificial sweeteners and other crap.

shakes are sliders, though -- it really takes chewing and swallowing for the brain to give the satiety message. I do a shake once in a while for a treat or to give the Band a rest for a few days and reboot, but for regular life with the band it's all about real food and proper fills to achieve the green zone and a dimmed appetite, which allows for choosing the right foods, stopping when satisfied, etc.

I believe muscle milk is lactose free

Syntrax nectar Protein range is excellent to have just with Water. I too am lactose intolerant and have tried the Syntrax Nectar fuzzy navel flavour- it tastes and looks like a watered down orange juice.

This has whey protein ie the lactose has been removed.

I was really happy with muscle milk light. Lots of flavors to choose from, too!
