Protein Supplements - Which One?

I was in the GNC store tonight discussing protein supplements with the clerk. He told me he would feel better if I found out WHICH kind of supplement is recommended for Gastric Bypass Postops. He said the choices as he saw it were 100 percent Whey, Isolated Whey and Isolated Soy. Can you guys tell me which is best?? Thanks, \\Mike

My doctor recommended whey protein and Pro Complex from GNC. Also, Isopure, when you get sick of shakes and want something more fruity flavored. You should ask your doctor what they recommend, but mine said no more than 3 grams of sugar per serving and at least 50 grams of protein per serving. I hope this helps a little. Beth

I would NOT get the one with Soy in it, because soy tends to inhibit the functioning of the thyroid, and could slow your weight loss.

Mike, many are good, I too would shy away from ones containing soy. Go on-line to the vitalady.com for samples. I have tried many and she sells ones that taste great! For some reason anything with chocolate has become bad tasting for me, but on the other hand when my sister had the surgery she only drank chocolate. Don't go out and buy big amounts you might not like them. Good Luck Lori Chapel Hill, NC 6 days post op
