Protein

Has anyone tried whey Protein isolate? For some reason I think my dr told me to avoid this one but I could be wrong.

I was told by my dietician to look for whey Protein isolate after surgery.

I always have and always will use Isolate. For me this is because I was extremely lactose intolerant before surgery (and surgery usually makes it worse). Isolate has no lactose, which makes it the best option for me.

If you look at weight lifting forums and stuff isolate is generally looked upon as better in quality than other Proteins. The biggest reason (in my opinion) not to use Isolate is because it's significantly more expensive than other Protein sources, and your options are much more limited (of finding a flavor/texture/drink you like). I think it may be absorbed quicker than other proteins as well but don't quote me on that.

The majority of the stuff on my surgeons recommended list contains lactose, and Bariatric Advantage makes me sick as hell. So whey isolate is the best option for me

Thank you so much! I also tried the bariatric advantage and it did not sit well with me either. I have been switching off with the Apple and orange Isopure and now I am just tired of it. I bought the strawberry banana isolate yesterday and tried it this morning, it was ok. I guess it will take some getting used to
