Need Advice- Non Whey Protein Powders?



Recommended Posts

Well, apparently, I'm allergic to pure whey isolate. Throat kinda closes up and stomach gets all wonky.

I ordered some powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (actually, ordered their sample kit) and had high hopes for the chicken Soup and unflavored ones. Now I've got to hurry and find some alternatives. I don't live in a big town so everything needs to be ordered and I don't have a lot of money. Sample options would be helpful too, if possible.

I need some help. Looking at options for ease of use for after surgery. Which is in a week! :blink:

Something that can be used with broth would be nice too. Variety. Nothing too sweet.

I've been searching on here for past posts but am getting bogged down and running out of time!

Thanks for your help!!!

If you have Trader Joe's, they have Hemp Protein, that has no whey or dairy derivatives in it.

You have to watch some of the soy Proteins...sometimes they sneak in whey or dairy for 'enrichment'.

I am 3 weeks post-op and went from lactose intolerant to lactose allergic. I am also allergic to whey Protein isolate and concentrate. It has taken me this whole time to figure this out. I came home from the hospital and broke open the unjury chicken Soup and have felt horrible since then.

I have used Spiru-tein in the past. You can get it at a variety of health food stores, GNC even carries a couple of flavors. They are soy Protein.< /p>

I haven't tried the hemp yet - next stop. I have tried the pea Protein shakes and I really don't like them. Right now I am sipping a homemade concotion. This is the first thing since Water and juice that feels okay in my sleeve.

8 oz almond milk (or whatever)

1/2 c cottage cheese (Lactaid seems to be working for me right now)

2T Peanut Butter

1t vanilla extract (I don't have any syrups at home...yet!)

Ice

Blend

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
