Hi Everyone. I am exactly two weeks postop and was having a lot of trouble last week with dizziness and nausea. At first I thought I was pushing myself too hard...going back to work in a week, etc. I live in NYC and walk a lot so I thought I was just doing too much. Then my mom pointed out that a few years back I had a mild soy allergy show up on allergy testing. So I stopped the protein powder for a day and felt great. So since Saturday, I have been drinking a juice based one that I bought online and I haven't had any nausea or dizziness. I am going for my 2 week floow up tomorrow and then on to mushies but I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on high protein powders or drinks that do not contain soy...since it will be a while before I can get enough of my protein through food.

Thanks.

I do not have a soy allergy, but I try to avoid it due to thyroid issues. I have used whey based protiens. Another option is to avoid protien powders altogether and make "shakes" using eggs. Pretty soon you will be off liquids, and you will be able to take in "real food" to get your protien.

Congratulations on getting banded
