Where did you get the idea that whey Protein is loaded with chemicals? It is simply the liquid part that separates out from the curd when they make cheese. Yes, some of the flavored shakes and powders may have "chemicals" in them, but whey protein itself does not. If you want to get a super pure product, check out www.mullinswhey.com .

I have used hemp protein as well as pea, egg, rice and sprouted seed protein, and they all have their pros and cons. Personally, I think hemp tastes horrible, egg was so-so, but I like the Spirutein, Raw Fit and Raw Protein products as alternatives to whey. However, I use whey the most because it is the best, most efficiently absorbed form of protein available. (Even better than meat, fish, eggs, soy, etc)

Your not vegan if your eating dairy and white meats. Not even close. You can buy plan unflavored whey Proteins. I buy Isopure unflavored. It's 100% whey isolate with no additives. If you want Hemp Protein I would recommends Bob's Red Mills. Their products are non GMO and organic. Manitoba Hemp Protein is another popular one. I haven't used the Bob's Red Mill powder but I have sampled the Manitoba. It's okay. I find that most plant based protein powders can be a little gritty. If you have a nutra bullet or something similar I would recommend using that to blend your shakes.

I was a vegetarian (not vegan) for like 6 years back in the 90's and you'd be surprised how many people often proclaimed "I'm a vegetarian, too. But I do eat fish." I quit trying to argue.

Being from Wisconsin, I think I might get arrested it I didn't eat dairy. ;). Mmmm.....cheese

That one drives me nuts. Especially since I'm deathly allergic to seafood. Like the time I was literally in the hospital due to an allergic reaction, ordered the vegetarian meal and was brought a giant piece of fish!

      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.

      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.
