 I am researching protein and was wondering what everyone suggested. My pre-op is June 8th and surgery is June 28th. My doctor is Dr. Scott in Rome. I am having the gastric by-pass. I am sure I will get a lot of responses but that is why I am asking. What kind of protein do you use and why?

Whey protein isolate is prefered. I use BSN, Nectar or Jay Robb.

Pure Protein. I get it at Target. I like it better than most others I have tried.

I used Dr. Scott and Kristen does not want you to use Protein  drinks.  I do use it and love them.
I use Sytrax Nectars.  I like Lemon Tea, Twisted Cherry, Fuzzy Navel and Cappuccino.
You can order samples from www.vitalady.com for $1.99 per package Plus S&H to try all different kinds.  Whey Isolates are the best kind for our absorption.

I use the Max protein and Click because they are - frankly- the only ones I've tried that don't taste like a monkey's butt to me.

I got the ISOPURE zero carb from GNC and loved it, still get it today but order online since it is way cheaper that way.  My fav is the "Dutch Chocolate" as I a a chocoholic............

Congrats on your surgery date. I'm nearly 4 mos post-op and wouldnt' change it f or anything. As long as the main  ingredient is WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE you will be fine. The first few months after surgery for me was the most expensive because I am trying different proteins.....trying to find the ones I can tolerate. The proteins I tolerated during the first 3-4 weeks, I cannot tolerate now. I currently am looking at three different proteins containers right in front of me (two I like and one I just purchased and I don't like).  See if anyone has proteins that they would like to give away. I have lots to give away. I'm not sure where livet, but I'd be more than happy to mail them to you. Best wishes

 I just found out about Smoothie King's Gladiator Smoothie.  It has 45 grams of protein and 1.5 carbs.  It is great.  I posted the nutritional info. on this message board.  i bought the protein powder while I was there.  It was $39.99 for a tub.  It also comes in individual packets.
