Pre-Surgery Lactose Intolerant



Recommended Posts

So, I need a little help. I have found that the whey Protein isolate powder (supposedly lactose free) has just enough lactose in it to make me sick. I was able to find Bone Broth Protein Powder (I'm using Ancient Nutrition), which has been okay, but was wondering if anyone has anything else they used that tasted good/okay? I'm 8 days into my pre-surgery diet of 15.

The vegetable/pea protein ones tasted too funky to me, too. It's hard to be picky, but I can't help what my stomach doesn't want right now.

I have used a ton of vegan Protein drinks, and they are mostly all fine. I make the shakes in a shaker bottle, with ice. My goal is to drink, and I try not to focus on it too much. The Protein Shakes include the following (all purchased from Amazon.com):

  • Evolve protein shakes (vanilla and mellow mocha)
  • Vegansmart Plant-based Vegan Protein Powder by Naturade (wild berries)
  • TOPBiT All-in-One Plant Protein Powder, chocolate – Vegan Protein Powder, sugar free Protein, Stevia Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, 20g Protein Shake, Probiotics, BCAA, Greens, 1.8LB
  • TOPBiT All-in-One Plant Protein Powder, vanilla – Vegan Protein Powder, Sugar Free Protein, Stevia Free, Nut Free, Soy Free, 20g Protein shake, Probiotics, BCAA, Greens, 1.8LB
  • Naturade Plant Based Vegansmart Vegan Pea Protein – Chocolate – 20.6 oz
  • Orgain Organic Plant Based Protein Powder, Creamy Chocolate Fudge - Vegan, Low Net Carbs, Non Dairy, Gluten Free, Lactose Free, No Sugar Added, Soy Free, Kosher, Non-GMO, 2.03 Pound

I *did not like* this unflavored protein: Nature's Best Plant Based Vegan Protein Powder by Isopure - Organic Keto Friendly, Low Carb, Gluten Free, 20g Protein, 0g Sugar, Unflavored, 1.15 Pound (20 Servings). It’s a wee bit nasty.

Wonderful. I'll take a look at some of those later today. The Topbit one that CheerfulLoser mentioned sounds cool cuz of the probiotics!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
