I am hoping you are able to help me with a problem I am having choosing a protein shake. I am 13 months post op and you would think I would have that down to a science by now. But I am trying to look for something new to get in all my required protein since I'm not doing it through food. The shake I have been using for the last year (Slim Fast), while great tasting, is higher in calories and other things that I think are too high. I started using Whey Protein Isolate but then found out it is derived from milk and I am lactose intolerant. I investigated soy protein which can cause constipation (which I frequently have trouble with anyway) Can you suggest something high in protein but not geared to building muscle mass? So many of those are outrageous in calories and carbs. Really need help with this, so all information would be greatly appreciated. I must get in more protein, ASAP!!

I am scheduled for surgery thursday I have been trying different shakes I love Quest Protein shakes Peanut Butter and salted Carmel. They do not have that funny taste some Protein Shakes have. I did not really like the vanilla you can go to GNC and by one serving packets then buy what you like on amazon its cheeper
