Freaking out about all the different vitamins and proteins



Recommended Posts

I was just approved for the sleeve and am freaking out because of all the different choices of Vitamins and Proteins. In a support the dietitian suggested that I search around for different types of non whey proteins since I lactose intolerance. I stumbled across this website and am now overwhelmed.

Whey Protein isolate is ok for folks who are lactose intolerant. I am, and I can drink it with no problems. I cannot, however, drink Premier Protein. Really upsets my system.

I can't drink whey at all - it makes me very nauseous and I get flushed and hot. But I can eat cottage cheese/yogurt just fine.

I love NowSports Soy Protein Isolate - sold on Amazon. Unfortunately there's not a lot of good tasting alternatives that aren't whey. NowSports is really the only one I've found that tastes good - after spending $$$$ trying tons of different brands of egg, pea, rice, and fish/beef Proteins. MRE Lite is pure animal protein (like salmon/beef) and their dutch apple pie is okay.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
