I don't know about egg Protein because I have never used it. But there are lots of good Whey Protein Isolates on the market. products made by U-N-J-U-R-Y are medical quality and are my preferred products

I seem to keep finding concentrates and blends that I was told are bad.

Why are they "bad"? I use blends and concentrates (as well as whey isolate) all the time. In fact, I make it a point to buy powders with different Protein sources to help ensure I'm getting a good balance of all amino acid profiles. And Body builders actually use different Proteins for different reasons....pre work out vs post work out vs night time. whey isolate is the best absorbed protein, but the whey and milk protein concentrates, soy protein, egg protein, pea protein, sprouted seeds, etc are still good proteins. Just like eggs vs beef vs fish vs dairy. Some people bad mouth certain components like casein, but in fact casein is the type of protein found in cheese and milk and what body builders prefer to take at night for a "slow burn".

My bariatric dietician told me that if it says whey Protein (blend or concentrate) your body is only absorbing the true protein portion part which is about 1/2. So I should look for True whey protein. post-239936-14161868114846_thumb.jpg

I do agree about the hydrolyzed collagen being a "poor quality" protein, but what does your nut say about the protein in cheese, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and milk? Less than 20% of the protein in them is whey protein.

      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.
