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>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
