Yes, absolutely, but there must be a difference in the Protein processing and affect.... I cant imagine they would tell us this for no reason.

You'd be surprised. Just because someone is a doctor, doesn't mean they are correct.
*ALL* whey is sourced from Cow Milk. Whey concentrate and whey isolate are processed differently and Isolate is a much more pure form of the Protein and has most (if not all) lactose removed from it. But, it's all still sourced from the exact same location. The statement of staying away from milk protein, but use whey, is just an incorrect statement from start to finish, that's like saying, Stay away from H2O, make sure to drink DiHydrogen Monoxide. They are the same thing.

I use whey, Soy or Pea during the day, and Casein before bed.

I’m hella picky my husband hates it and I got off Protein Shakes for awhile but I need to get back on them. Best milk chocolate Protein that aren’t gritty for picky butts like my self?I’m also juicing! I’m losing weight still but I’ve got to get better.

Isagenix chocolate -- hands down the best Protein Shake I've ever had and it has 24g. It's not gritty when shaken in a blender ball bottle, but I actually prefer it blended with 8-10 ice cubes and 8-10 oz. Water. The less water you use the more it blends up in the same consistency as a Wendy's frosty. Soy & gluten free. I don't sell it but I love them.

Yes all whey is milk related.

You need rice pea or soy Protein to avoid animals

I'm totally picky too. I can't stand the Premier Protein. What I have found that's the best tasting in the Syntrax Nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle. I just mix a scoop with 1 cup of my skim milk for 31 grams of Protein. It's very smooth and doesn't have that protein after taste. It's kind of spendy but worth it. You can actually buy it in one serving packets for $1.99 to try it first before buying the 2 pound container. Good luck!

I liked both Ensure Max and during the day I put Premiere Protein peach flavored into my iced caffeine-free tea. Just a splash and by the end of the day I've done in one bottle. That is 50g of protein. The rest is easy.

Premier Protein started tasking nasty to me so I tried the Fairlife Core Power Protein Drinks, they don't have any Protein Powder in them, they are literally just milk. but if I need some extra Protein they have 26 grams. They taste like chocolate milk and are really good. I can't stand most protein drinks.

I'm going to recommend legion Protein powder. It's awesome and doesn't have chemicals.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
