4 weeks w/o Protein Drinks!!
If you can't handle milk stay away from WHEY protein drinks as whey is dairy.
I am 2 weeks out and am lactose intolerant now and the whey protein makes me sick EVERY time. My nutritionist switched me to a soy protein drink and they go down VERY easy. They are 25 grams of protein per 8oz drink from GNC, called Protein 95.
Hope this helps someone...
We had surgery the same day. I have had a terrible time getting in my protien as well. Lets face it , it is hard to choke something down that is thick, gritty, and just nasty. Why do they make them that way? I ordered some samples from Vitalady.com just today. Hope I find one I can drink. Keep in touch, It is nice to chat with those from the same day. Nataly
Ladies, I am now using the Unjury protein supplement. You can drink it or mix it in food. So far, I've had it in chili, shrimp salad, oatmeal, scrambled egg, mashed potatos, and crystal light. 1 scoop is 20 grams and it is flavorless. I confess, I like it much better mixed in food than in what I drink. It makes the crystal light cloudy and I have a hard time getting it to dissolve.
