Need a good protein other than whey



Recommended Posts

My doc wants me to switch off of whey Protein for awhile. I know I have read a mention of soy and hemp. Are there others and which one would be best quality? Thanks for your help.

I second the egg white Protein, I just had the chocolate flavor for Breakfast. It's really mild in flavor too, not bad at all.

Not that particular brand but any Protein shake/powder with egg white in it makes me gag and I just cannot drink it, I advise to buy the smallest possible container or try to get a sample first.

Another protein is pea protein powder, I haven't tried it but know its out there.

Actually has anyone tried the protein pills I have seen on puritans pride, they are called desicated liver??

Thanks.... Was going to Vitamin shoppe today to see what they have. I so appreciate the suggestion on samples. I have spent way too much money on unused Vitamins and protein already so really hope my problem with whey subsides so that i wont be stuck with all the nectar and other big tub of protein i have.

At the Vitamin Shoppe they have samples of the egg white one as well as different vegan ones made without whey protein! There only a dollar or two as well (:

      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.
