Isolate is best!!! I found minds at Walmart and most drug stores sell it too. Also do your surgeon have a store that sell supplies we need. Minds does in NC. You can also order online.

Yes it does matter. Walmart and GNC have many options. I got mine online from vitacost. I went with Jay Robb because I don't feel comfortable with artificial sweeteners and Jay Robb uses stevia.

Where are you seeing the word Whey? Are you looking at the ingredients or the front label?

Whey should be the first ingredient listed. Isolate is the best, but concentrate is perfectly fine as well.

Make sure the ingredients DO NOT include the woes Gelatin or collagen. These are Protein sources many manufacturers use to make their labels look impressive but are of ZERO benefit as these Proteins pass through the digestive system completely intact.

What is the product you are looking at?

The GNC product is the best of the 2 I can comment on.

The body fortress is also a good option although IMO it tastes horrible.

As for the 3rd option from Wal-Mart since I'm not sure which product it is I can't say much.

Whatever you do stay away from the Protein Shots.< /p>

Six star is another one of those good quality if you can handle the taste deals. I've got a jug of it but dread having to drink it.

They are completely useless. There is no upside.

Hello All:

I am in need of some help myself. I can't find a very good tasting Protein power, does anyone have any good suggestions. And from what my surgeon states it is very important to use the whey Isolated, because it helps with the weight loss and builds muscle mass. I was using Unjury the chicken flavor, it's great and it taste like chicken noodle Soup, but it has a lot of sodium it in, but if you do not have high blood pressure it's a great way to get your protein in, and the weight melts off. I just can't use any of the products since my surgery, something is going on with my taste buds.

whey isolate is the best protein available. But there are definitely other good options. In the Whey category I recommend

1-Unjury (chocolate splendor or chicken soup)

2-Nectar by Syntrax (fuzzy navel, cherry, or truffle)

3- Chike (this is IMO the best tasting protein supplement

Then there are other good protein sources like:

Hemp protein (I buy Nutiva 15g)

Egg protein (Jay Robb)

I get approximately 1/3-1/2 of my protein from whey about the same from whole food items & the balance from egg or hemp powders.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
