Hello, I decided to post this because of the importance of us bandsters getting in higher amounts of nutrition and Protein in our diets, especially during the full liquid phase. So many of us blindly go to the grocery store (as I did at first) and pick out any Protein shake that we feel will just taste good, not knowing that most of them out there are so bad for us and do not really do our bodies justice.

The point of this surgery is to get healthier, not sicker...

So here is a PHENOM link about protein powders from one of my most favorite health & nutrition gurus out there. His name is Dr. Mercola, he is an alternative doc and he actually has an office in Schaumburg, IL near where I live!

~Enjoy!~

Better Protein Powders

(videos & info)

Nothin like a "doctor" advertising his "superior" Protein powder with untrue statements. Hahah. Gotta love business today.

Sensationalist to the extreme.

I tend to agree with some of the things he says, but then that site goes off the deep end and gets into politics, and a bunch of other unrelated stuff... to the point that when my friends post articles on his site on FB, I don't read them, even if I agree with the premise of them. BUT. I'm glad the site was helpful to you!

I like this site for a "plain English" explanation of the role of Protein after WLS. Yes, this site also sells protein products. http://vitalady.com/why_protein.htm I also like the chart on the bottom of this page, that quickly explains the different types of whey protein options. http://www.vitalady.com/protein.htm

Thanks, I appreciate the sharing! I agree that the depth that he goes into can be overwhelming. I can't say that it is possible to agree with everything one person says 100% either, but for the most part I am happy with his info
