Question:
Does anyone know....
of a good/great whey protein mix? What is the difference between whey and whey stack? My nutritionist said we need to be taking whey protein supplements after surgery and I was hoping someone could give me a few suggestions of some good whey drinks.

I don't know what "whey stack" is but whey protein is more finely
processed and is supposed to be more easily digested.
My two favorites are Isopure Zero Carb in the glass bottles (it's a
pre-mixed juice that comes in several flavors; a 20 oz bottle= 40 grams
protein) and Metrx APM 60 (it's a powder that you mix with 16 oz of water-
makes a thick low carb shake containing 60 grams of protein and tons of
vitamins- I like Double-shot Chocolate). I get them from Isopure.com and
drugstore.com, repectively. I believe you can also get them from GNC.
Vitalady.com offers samples of different products if you want to try them
out.

I have tried MANY protein powders and bars. My absolute favorite is
DESIGNER WHEY Protein powder and bars. I suggest you go to vitalady.com and
order some samples. That way you're not spending a fortune on cans of
protein podwer only to throw them away cause you don't like them. My drink
of choice is......every morning I take a scoop of Designer Whey protein
powder, chocolate flavor, and add it to a cup of milk with 1/2 packet of
equal. Takes a few minutes to mix it up but, yum, yum, tastes like
chocolate milk and it gives me 25 grams of protein.

Try Real Meals, it is whey protein and it is made by the company that
pioneered whey protein supplements. It has 60 grams of protein plus over
40 other vitamins and minerals. Plus, it has the lean mass stimulators to
help prevent sagging skin by maintaining you lean muscle underneath. There
are a lot of surgeons and nurses recommending it now. Plus it actually
tastes good. The manufacturer has done a lot of research on protein
supplements and Gastric Bypass Patients and will even talk to post ops
personally. There are some really good product reviews in the Nutrition
Forum. They are listed in two places under Healthy N Fit (The company that
makes it) Or you can go to their website at www.protein-solution.com
