josephsmom 25 Posted May 20, 2018 Hello, I am lactose intolerant. After 1 week pre-op and almost 1 week post-op, I am having trouble tolerating my "lactose-free," milk-based Protein Shakes. Could someone please recommend non-dairy sources of high Protein that are suitable for Step 1? I would prefer savory flavors to sweet at this point. Thanks for your help!

Unjury makes a chicken Soup flavor Protein Powder. Also, maybe try some Bone Broth if nothing else, it would at least have some collagen Proteins in it. I would call your nutritionist ASAP though.

Frustr8 7,886 Posted May 20, 2018 Can you tolerate soy? if so I recommend Svelte organic Protein Shake, I have the French vanilla and it tastes GOOD.😝 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josephsmom 25 Posted May 20, 2018 Thanks to you both. I definitely will call my dietitian tomorrow, but your suggestions will help to tide me over for today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisb428 626 Posted May 20, 2018 Premier has a Protein Water available and Isopure has a clear Protein Drink as well. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted May 20, 2018 I was lactose intolerant for a couple months after surgery. I used Muscle Milk Light (Vanilla Creme) powder blended with Water and a half a banana blended in for flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taoz 284 Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Look for "collagen hydrolysate" supplements derived from beef Gelatin (bonus, also helps with joints and skin elasticity). Here in Australia I just had my Peptipro collagen Hydrolysate deliver today, and I"m looking forward to adding it to my morning Decaf coffee and evening cup of decaf tea. 15g product = 14.5g Protein and dissolves in cold or hot Water. No sure if this brand available overseas, but with the popularity of paleo, there should be several suppliers of similar products over there. https://www.gelatinaustralia.com.au/products/peptipro-collagen-hydrolysate-beef-gelatin-500grams-premium-grade Edited May 21, 2018 by Taoz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BurBur 113 Posted May 21, 2018 I too am sick, sick, sick, of sweet flavored Protein Drinks. optisource is a non dairy Protein drink with a good reputation for bariatric purposes. Also, I just ordered up some non flavored protein powder by Isopure. I'm hoping to be able to add it to "just warm" Soups and broths to help with those pesky protein goals. We shall see had unflavored it really is :). Fingers crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James Marusek 5,244 Posted May 21, 2018 No feedback. It worked for awhile for me and then stopped working. 1 Neversaynever reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My current Protein powder is very lumpy Because most Protein supplements are whey protein concentrate, or whey protein isolate based and neither dissolves very well, especially in hot liquids. The collagen hydrolysate is a different animal all together, derived from pure beef Gelatin, and dissolves well, similar to how benefibre dissolves in your tea/coffee/other liquids no lumpy bits in my fresh coffee this morning (after stirring well with a fork for 2 mins). I'm feeling a bit seedy this morning after a bad sleep and I think I'm coming down with hubby cold that has kept him in bed most of the past 3 days I'm making myself some Breakfast now and will get more healthy Soup into me later on. Might even have a nap. EDIT: lols, my ticker is broken? It says I'm at 103.9 kilos but my little boat has snuck all the way over to the goal position of 60kg on the sunset. I'm doing well little sailboat, but we still have a ways to go! hehe Edited May 22, 2018 by Taoz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
