Allergic reaction to peotein drink



Recommended Posts

What kind of reaction are you having?

I don't use any artificial sweeteners at all. I drink Water or herbal tea. I use a very good quality whey isolate Protein Powder (BioChem) that is soy free, 99% lactose free, gluten free, and has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners/flavors. I get it at sprouts and add it to my smoothies, yoghurt, Soups, Beans, just about anything.

Getting rid of the sweet tooth is a real help with avoiding temptations later. For me, a piece of fruit tastes so sweet it is amazing - I almost feel guilty!

Yeah, found that out for myself, in the infinite stupidity my local Wal-Mart deleted Musselmans unsweetened applesauce off their shelves. I said to ME -Frustr8 old girl you used to like jars of cinnamon Applesauce back beyond. Looked them over, picked one with less than 16 calories, remembered there is 18 calories in a teaspoon of "over refined. & bad for you "white sugar so rationalized may still be Okay. One teaspoon and I spit it out in the trash. So cloyingly sweet I could not stand it, if Tomkitten will eat it, fine, otherwise it's going to be dumped out and I'll send the jar with the recycle stuff Might as well like a spoonful of honey!!

The guidelines for post op foods without artificial sweeteners? Just don't use them. That stuff is poison, in my way of thinking.

You'll find most Protein powders have some kind of sweeteners to make the flavor

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
