Protein Powders? GNC any good?
I love their "Lean 25" flavors of the months. My current evening "snack" is their Apple Cinnamon flavor. I "warm" it up and its like a warm apple pie shake. YUM!!!!

Do not buy a lot of protein prior to WLS. You tastes will change alot after surgery.
I do however like the GNC (I get the smaller bags) so that I don't have so much of one flavor that I get burned out on.
They have a guaranty also, so save your receipt and it you don't like it I believe that you can take it back.
I personally like Atkins, Muscle Milk, GNC - Choc and Chocolate Carmel flavors), Premier Protein (Sam's carries this)
Unjury is good too and they have a Chicken Soup protein that is fairly decent too and I believe that their choc(s) and vanillas blend very well and are "smooth". (freeze them and eat them like ice cream - hint hint) for a variety.
Good Luck
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

I like Isopure plain myself. I mix with coffee in am. But you can add it to ANYTHING and you dont even taste it.
