Does anyone use the Whey Protein from wal-mart for a protein supplement? I'm curious  on what i can use for extra protein when needed when my time comes  (WLS Jan 28th )and that seems to be priced well with lots of protein and can be mixed in water or milk ,comes in flavors or even unflavored.

Hi,
I have not had surgery yet, but I have asked this same question.. including on different boards.. sorry everyone, but yes.. I am a boardw***e.  Any way... I have decided to use body fortress from Walmart, but keep your options open. There are many websites that you can get samples from so before you buy a big "tub" of something, your gonna want to make sure you like it.

visit vitalady.com and you purchase samples there...

Good Luck!

For most of my supplement protein, I also use the body fortress.  I have become quite used to making protein shakes using the body fortress protein, skim milk, crystal light flavorings and ice cubes.  The vanilla is easy to flavor with a variety of flavorings.  Chocolate works when I have a full blast chocolate craving.  Keeps me from overindulging in poor choice foods.

The key to choosing your protein is to make sure it is no sugar added, has very low carbs and calories and that it is easily aborbed. It should say on the packaging somewhere that is has good bioavailability or is easily absorbed.
I use unjury now, but may try some others when my current stash is gone.
