Hello all,

I was banded on the 8th, and maybe I'm being a bit of drama queen, but I'm just grumpy today, so I decided to vent.

Apparently, I developed an allergy to milk. At first, I thought it was just an intolerance (I got gassy, nauseous, etc. when I had part of a milk-based Protein shake) and then today, I had a PureProtein shake and I actually broke out into hives (this was the only thing I had) ...

I've been back at work for all of two days, I'm tired, I have no energy and I'm completely sick of drinking Protein Shakes (egg-white based or soy for that matter) ... I want to chew something!

So in my little pique of rage, I scrambled some egg whites together softly and chewed really, really well ... they have stayed down for several hours, but my conscience (perhaps self preservation?) has kicked in and I'm worried I did something wrong. I'm supposed to be on 3 weeks of protein shakes, and pureed Soup.

Any thoughts? Thanks much ... :biggrin:

I think we would all do something in your instance. Have you tried Lactaid, they also have Lactaid Milk. I was also told to try Soy Milk or Rick Milk, but I am a big chicken. Boost Glucose Control is lactose free. Check around, the protien shakes are important Talk to your Dr or Nutritionist, they may have suggestions. Debbie
