Yet another question about Protein

I am an RNY proximal almost two years post op. I have heard we do not absord food type protein well and that we should rely on pre-digested whey protein as our best source of a protein supplement. First of all, is this true and second of all can we rely on any food protein? My problem is this, I use Extreme Pure Pro grape protein and I can tolerate it quite well but it's a little pricey to use for all my protein needs (about $80 per month) Is it possible to use Pure Pro for half my daily protein requirement (30 grams) and food for the rest? (30 grams) I am not quite two years post op and find my biggest problem is that I am so tired. It seems I just didnt get the energy I had hoped for. My labs are fine and I take iron and vitamins as well as calcium citrate faithfully but I sure would like to get some get up and go. Right now it's 9 AM and I could take a nap even after 9 hours of sleep. It doesnt feel like depression ( I also take an anti- depressant) just fatigue. Can anyone help me?
