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.

      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.
