Hello - I am getting the sleeve done in 2 days and I am in a bit of a panic.  I have realized that the protein shakes and drinks are making me nauseous and I am getting heart burn.  I am pretty sure it is because they all contain sucralose, as I have always been sensitive to artificial sweeteners.  This past weekend I went to the health food store and scoured the shelves for protein supplements that do not have sucralose in them and there are not many.  I would like to find one that has a natural sweetener like stevia.  I have found an all natural protein shake but it has sugar in it and isn't very good. 

To be honest, I am not fond of milk or milky products either.  I am lactose intolerant and I don't like the taste of milk products.  I would love to find a protein drink that is not in shake form that has no artificial sweeteners in it.  I drink mostly unsweetened ice tea - is there anything you can just add to something like that? 

I appreciate any help or suggestions.  There are so many supplements, I am overwhelmed.

You might look into sun warrior pea protein.  It doesn't taste bad and has no milk. It is sweetened with stevia.

what if you went to trader joe's or someplace similar and bought protein powder - then added it to unsweetened almond milk or vanilla almond milk?  You could make your own shakes adding only what you like/tolerate.

GNC makes a "natural" Amplified Wheybolic Extreme with Stevia instead of Sucralose.

Isopure makes a ice tea protein drink (and many other flavors)

40g protein, I believe 140 calories, not milky or milk based at all...

not sure of the sweetener though...tasty...

Unfortunately, they are sweetened by Splenda.  I was really excited when I first saw this drink.

I also HATE milk in all its forms. I used UNJURY protein. They have unflavored and chicken soup which are both tasty. They also have the ususal flavors.

Syntrax Naturals have Stevia. They also have natural dyes, something important to me since I try to avoid red dye. 

I got a sample pack from mybaratricpantry.com. You can mix the powder with milk or water. I'm currently sipping on fruit punch. It's not too bad. 

HTH!
