Per my guidelines, the New whey is a big no. It's 42 grams of Protein, but only about 11 grams of it is something your body can process well as Protein, so the rest of it is essentially meaningless from a protein standpoint.

From the looks of things, the Body Fortress brand is similar in that the first protein on the list is collegen. The whey and casein are fine, but collegen is, again, not processed effectively by our bodies as protein and it's the largest share of the protein in the shot.

I'm not a nutrition specialist by any means, this is just based on what I've been told to look for before using a protein shot by people who do have expertise.

Bottom line - they won't hurt you, but they won't give you the bang for the buck that you might be looking for.

It has to have whey isolate so your body can receive all of the protein. Per my nutritionist of GBMC.

I have been adding these to my daily meals. One in the morning and one early evening. My Hair loss has almost stopped and I credit it from being able to get enough Protein in.

Per the experts I've spoken with, that's only partly true. Whey isolate is one of the best, but casein is good for sustained release (keeps you feeling full longer) and both soy isolate and egg Protein are acceptable, especially if you don't tolerate whey well. What isn't good is collagen.< /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.
