Isolate is best!!! I found minds at Walmart and most drug stores sell it too. Also do your surgeon have a store that sell supplies we need. Minds does in NC. You can also order online.

Yes it does matter. Walmart and GNC have many options. I got mine online from vitacost. I went with Jay Robb because I don't feel comfortable with artificial sweeteners and Jay Robb uses stevia.

Where are you seeing the word Whey? Are you looking at the ingredients or the front label?

Whey should be the first ingredient listed. Isolate is the best, but concentrate is perfectly fine as well.

Make sure the ingredients DO NOT include the woes Gelatin or collagen. These are Protein sources many manufacturers use to make their labels look impressive but are of ZERO benefit as these Proteins pass through the digestive system completely intact.

What is the product you are looking at?

The GNC product is the best of the 2 I can comment on.

The body fortress is also a good option although IMO it tastes horrible.

As for the 3rd option from Wal-Mart since I'm not sure which product it is I can't say much.

Whatever you do stay away from the Protein Shots.< /p>

Six star is another one of those good quality if you can handle the taste deals. I've got a jug of it but dread having to drink it.

They are completely useless. There is no upside.

Hello All:

I am in need of some help myself. I can't find a very good tasting Protein power, does anyone have any good suggestions. And from what my surgeon states it is very important to use the whey Isolated, because it helps with the weight loss and builds muscle mass. I was using Unjury the chicken flavor, it's great and it taste like chicken noodle Soup, but it has a lot of sodium it in, but if you do not have high blood pressure it's a great way to get your protein in, and the weight melts off. I just can't use any of the products since my surgery, something is going on with my taste buds.

whey isolate is the best protein available. But there are definitely other good options. In the Whey category I recommend

1-Unjury (chocolate splendor or chicken soup)

2-Nectar by Syntrax (fuzzy navel, cherry, or truffle)

3- Chike (this is IMO the best tasting protein supplement

Then there are other good protein sources like:

Hemp protein (I buy Nutiva 15g)

Egg protein (Jay Robb)

I get approximately 1/3-1/2 of my protein from whey about the same from whole food items & the balance from egg or hemp powders.< /p>

My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
