Question:
Protein drink sources without soy?
I am 9 months out from my RNY (down 90 lbs!) and am having trouble finding a protein powder/dring without soy. I also am a breast cancer survivor and am not supposed to eat soy. Any ideas? — galford (posted on March 6, 2010)

I believe that the alternate form of protein would come from whey. Perhaps
do a search here on whey and I'm sure you will get all kinds of protein
discussions. You should be able to find some brands from that. Hope this
helps.

I am pretty sure Unjury is all whey protein. It is very highly recommended.
I use unflavored with crystal light almost evry day. www.unjury.com

Most surgeons recomend whey protein for rny patients, as it is easier to
break down. Unjury uses only Whey Isolate. GNC also carries a powder called
100% Whey. It comes in several flavors and container sizes.

Whey should be a good option for you. I use only whey just becuase I like
the way it makes me feel. I am currently using (have been for about a year
now) Gold Standard 100% whey powder. You can get it at GNC and I love it.
You can mix it hot or cold so I even put it in my coffe or SF Hot Coco...

The protein drinks at bariatriceating.com are all made with whey protein
isolate. I, too have heard this recommended for RNY post ops.

Jillian Michaels has a whey protein that you can get at Walmart. It has a
good taste; I believe one scoop is 100 calories, 1.5 g of fat, 3 fiber, 3
sugars, 7 carbs...and most importantly, 15 g of protein. Of course, if you
consider trying, check the ingredients out before you purchase. Good luck!

I use Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder (Vanilla Ice-Cream flavor)120
calories per scoop and 24g of protein. There's no wierd after taste or
smell and it doesn't make my cup all sticky around the rim. It taste
delicious and I've tried at least 6 different protein powders and it's the
BEST!!! I'll drink it for the rest of my life without any hesitation!!

Whey isolate is the best absorbed protein, I have read , for bariatric
surgery patients. Inspire and Nectar products are 100% whey isolate. They
mix easily with water, come in different flavors and are quite palatable.
