Have you tried the GenSoy Protein ? They make a protein shake and a protein drink. I think the shake tastes much better. I mix it with 1/2 frozen banana, diet sweetner and lots of ice and its dellicious. The shake has 14 grams of protein. The drink has 25 grams. I'm sure your doctor would rather you drank the higher protein, but if you're not drinking any at all right now, I would think, the shake would be a good alternative. Try to avoid carbs, it will slow your weight loss in the long run.

@SunnyRain247 I actuall haven't tried that brand or tried mixing ice and sweetner with the fruit. Good idea thanks

Thanks... I usually drink lactaid but it did work for me either. As soon as it hit my stomach it would cramp. Jello is also a problem for me.. Imagine that!!. Thank god for the protein I'm meat..

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried mixing with water and the sweetness is hard to swallow. I wish I could have carbs cause id love to try protein bars..

Try the protein mix you can mix with water? I use Designer Whey and you can mix it with as little as 3oz of water. 100 calories, 18 protein. You can get it either at GNC or Rite Aid stores in their GNC aisle. Congrats on such a kick *ass start!!
