Soy/Egg White/Whey does it matter what protein we are using?



Recommended Posts

Does it matter what kind of Protein we are using?

I got a free sample of that Visalus shake mix. It said it tastes like cake batter so I thought I'd try it. It really does. It's really good. The only two issues are it is SOY Protein and it only has 12 grams of protein which isn't really enough. It has 5 grams of Fiber per serving though and that seems to help me stay full longer.

If you add skim milk to it then that increases your protein but I normally use Almond milk and that doesn't help the protein levels at all.

I'm trying to decide if I want to order a pack of this or if I would get the same benefit from adding Benefiber to a shake made with Muscle Milk Light Cake Batter.

Any thoughts?

I don't think it matters if it's soy or whey. I'm in the soft food stage and I've been eating tofu to get some of my Protein along with my whey Protein Shakes.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
