A pure whey protein isolate should contain little-to-no lactose so you should be fine. If you go plant-based then you want soy.

Hi I had my band surgery around 2011, occasionally I may have night time gastric reflux with intense coughing, my question is what is a better med or success overcoming this?
thanks.
Hello, does anyone else have experience with not being able to eat and barely drink in the morning? I have heard about waking up tight after laying down all night and stomach fluids coming up. But I'm hungry and I would like to eat before noon! Any experience or suggestions? Thank you!!!

Experienced a leak in my port, and had no restriction for over 9 months. Had leak repair surgery on 1/31/11 and am back on my journey again! :)
I am 5'0 and 146lbs and that you listed is what my surgeon (who also has had RNYGB) recommended. Exactly.

So as a newly pre-op I am starting to take the stroll down Protein Lane, trying to get starting stocking up on the goodies.
Just ooooooone small catch...
I'm lactose intolerant...it's not a pretty sight...it could be classified as down-right frightening...
So questions are:
1. Is the whey in protein even enough to set off ye ol' time bomb?
But more importantly:
2. Has anyone had experience using plant based protein powders and have any suggestions?

I like the Premier shakes, my nutritionist likes them as well so thats a bonus, in my opinion.

Amazing how different everyone is! At 8 months out I still was only eating about 1/2 per meal. Even now I don't eat bread, etc as too many carbs. A loaf of low cal bread can last me 6 weeks easily! Breakfast this morning was one egg, 1 oz light cheddar cheese and about 1.5 oz of italian sausage and onions.
As a male, you can usually burn more calories than a woman (look at people on WW; they women always complain that the men loose greater amounts eating the same foods; they burn them!)
Eating high protein, low bad carbs can be easily achieved (for OP), by staying away from a lot of potatoes, rice, pasta, etc. and substituting healthy carbs. Using black bean pasta, instead of white flour pasta is a good substitute; so is using spaghetti squash and matchstick zucchini. Remember the taste on substitutions may not be exactly the same, but if you keep that in mind and that you are eating things actually good for you, you will enjoy them! I also use zucchini strips in place of lasagna noodles. Red lentils and chicken bouillon with a bit of butter satisfies my carby days....there are lots of things to try!!
I rarely do crackers, etc. because if I keep them in the house, they call my name........!
As I said before, you are doing fantastically!
I also really like the Premier Protein shakes a lot!
