Whey Protein Shots
Does anyone use the Whey Protein Shots? I had lap band surgery 4 years ago and was unsuccessful with it and working towards having gastric bypass. I would sometimes use them when I felt I didn't get enough protein in for the day. Ill add the nutritional information at the bottom of this post. Is it something that I will be able to continue using after the surgery?

Is that the Yes,Whey , New Whey or another brand? ETA: If that is the Yes,Whey brand, it's fine. It's whey protein isolate. The other brand uses collagen-which is no bueno for RNYers. I woke up in between a memory and a dream... Tom Petty
What brand did your husband's doc approve? The Yes Whey? Or one of the others that is mostly collagen protein (which we won't absorb)? Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.

As another poster said, it depends on which brand you are using. If it is the Yes Whey brand, that is all whey isolate and is a good choice. If it's one of the other brands that is mostly collagen protein, it's a waste of money because you will only absorb a tiny amount of it. Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
