I am post op day 4 and can add in a protein shake to sip on all day. Here's the problem, the vegan protein blend I used during the pre op diet is not something I can drink slowly. I barely choked it down drink it fast. I tried a whey protein shake and now have issues. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hmm. I have lactose intolerance and I'm able to handle the premixed Premier Protein shakes without any trouble. Have you tried chewing a lactaid when you use the whey?

What vegan blend are you using? I found Spirutein to be quite tasty. But as with all Protein powders, I have to mix it with twice as much liquid as the instructions said or it is too thick and sweet for my liking.

Was the Protein powder 100% whey isolate? That has a lot less lactose than other dairy-based Proteins. Are you allowed Greek yogurt yet? It, too, has less lactose than regular yogurt. How about Lactaid milk? That has 8g protein per cup.

I was using a vegan blend of pea, hemp, and cranberry protein and it is heavy and thick.

I haven't, but I will. Thanks

Try diluting it with water, juice, almond milk or lactaid. You can even change up the flavor with Torani syrups.

I do use a torani syrup caramel it tastes okay initially but to drink it slowly pretty much all day is where it starts tasting nasty. I have even refrigerated it in between. Thanks for the feedback though.

Keep it up girl. Lactate pills sound promising... ????

I have been lactose intolerant for probably 30 years. I can drink the Isopure zero carb ready to drink from GNC without using lactaid. I like blue raspberry the best. Good luck!

I became lactose intolerant post sleeve. At first premier shakes didn't settle well, but about 3 months out I can drink 1/2 (15 grams of protein) at a time. If I drink the whole thing at once I get sick.

I am not lactose intolerant but i am on Clear liquids. My surgery was 5 days ago. I found after surgery I couldn't stomach the Isopure. It made me gag. So I looked for another option and found a non flavored protien powder at Walmart for 20$. I mix that with Water and crystal light. Hope this helps.

I can't stomach Isopure, either, so I use a vanilla EAS shake mix and add different sugar free coffee syrups. strawberry is my favorite. I have used a cheap brand, from Walmart, that was a Cookies and Cream flavor. It was really good.

I guess I am lucky that my lactose intolerance hasn't been as bad after my surgery. Before, I had it really bad and it was almost like dumping syndrome after eating something with lactose. Don't they have a soy Protein shake mix? I have seen a couple, at Walmart, but never tried them. Good luck!
