I've been craving Mexican food so I can't tell you how bitter I'll be if I can have acocados eventually.

I didn't know that about whey. Thanks for the tip.

I've only been able to have meat for a couple of days and I've been really careful to not let it get too dry. I put a little dollop of cream of chicken soup in with my chicken breast and it seems to work pretty well.

Anything I eat that is too high in fat makes me sooo sick.  I had a low carb, high fat dressing once with real blue cheese and I thought I was going to die.  I had the big "D" and the big  all at the same time.   Sooo not only am I low carbing it, I also have to watch any high fat meats (dark meat rotissere chicken was nearly the death of me a few weeks ago), dressings, too much cheese (tho I can tolerate about an oz), and anything with oil and butter.  Oh well, I think its a blessing in disguise and I have a feeling I will grow out of it as time goes on.

I am absolutely intolerant to whey post surgery. without a doubt. It took me a couple of weeks to figure it out. I can drink plain milk fine.

Soy... I won't scare you but I threw out $40 worth of soy. And didn't mind that I threw it out.

I ended up buying EAS Advantage Egde pre-mixed protein drinks. Yes more costly but drinkable and did not trigger my whey issues. It reads like it's casien/milk instead of whey.

If I were you I'd isolate if it's one or the other or both. Give up one for about 3 days, then reintroduce it. If you had 3 days of no problems, then it suddenly returns, you know. If your problems never go away then switch and eliminate the second culprit. Same thing, 3 days, see if it goes or not.

If that doesn't fix it, eliminate both, find an alternative protien temporarily (be it soy or other) and see if that fixes it.

At some point though, you may decide this is still a liquid in, liquid out issue. I had that until I was on mushies. But whey made it - well I'll spare you the details but lets just say there was a MARKED difference when I was taking in whey.

And at 7 weeks post, I tried a little whey again... no bueno. Same issue.

I've not heard of nectar protein but would be skeptical. Nectar is sweet, it sounds like it could be too sweet.

There are some others that mix - egg based or almond based. Just read it, many have a mix to get the protein. Most add whey which is why my options were so limited.

Also, soy milk, check the protein, I don't think it's enough. The soy powder, which is what I was trying to get down, doesn't mix. It was nasty. I'm not sure which you use, but if you can tolerate the soy powder, then that's a decent one to use.

Ah! Guess that won't work for me either.

Good idea! Thanks.
