allergic to whey?

[birdlady 1]

Well I'm 3 days away from surgery and this Protein Shake thing is not working. I have lost 6 lbs. but 1 night I felt like I had the flu. Next day woke up fine but I have a bumpy itchy rash along waist line on back and bumpy elbows. I switched to egg white Protein yesterday and felt like a stomach flu last night. So today the nurse said stop the shakes and stick with a high protein, low fat diet for the next 3 days. That seems easy now compared to the shakes. but what am my going to have after surgery. I guess all the whey protein will have to go back. anyone ever hear of this happening, or am I the unlucky one?
