I was wondering if it was okay to use Soy protein supplements?

I am over 2 1/2 years post op LAP RNY. I kind of got off the wagon and stopped supplementing protein, hence starting losing my hair again (badly) I am getting back on and would like some advice on supplements. Prior to all of this I would only use Whey Protein supps. Now I find myself purchasing the pre-made supplements (EAS Advant Edge) shakes as well as there bars. I also enjoy the Atkins protein bars that are also made with soy protein. Do RNY's have trouble absorbing soy, or do I just have my facts all messed up. I guess another reason why I'm asking is because, I have been back on the wagon for about a month now and have also started taking 5mg's of Biotin Forte and my hair is just falling out at the speed of light. Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I will be seeing my surgeon in 2 1/2 weeks. Thank you!
