DL, since so many people want a copy of this list perhaps you should make it a thread so everyone can share it?

- Kaylee Ann

Kaylee, I tried to post the file but forum rules do not allow you to post/attach an Excel file. Vamp is a graphic guru and she created an image that has been posted on the forum under the thread "Protein, Protein, Protein". You can see the list but you cannot edit or add to it. The only way I've found so far for folks to get the file is to email it. Have a great day!

As far as I have read these shots are not the right kind of Protein for us

Tammy, I'd love to have any links or sites that you may have that talk about this. There seems to be a lot of talk on the forums about it but the reviews are mixed and anything but conclusive. Haven't been able to find anything on sites like Harvard, mayo, WebMD, IOM or ASMBS. One post said her nutritionist does not recommend it because the protein is collagen based which is inferior to other types of protein. But others say they love it. New Whey says it was developed for bariatric surgery patients but they obviously are biased by financial interests. Most folks seem to agree that it definitely does not taste good. I've never used it so can't offer any opinion. Thanks!!

Thanks to Tammy for the heads up! Her research and my own today both confirm that New Whey may not be the best way to go. It contains collagen protein. The subject of protein gets quite complex but collagen protein is one of the worst according to a ranking system (PDCASS) endorsed by the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences. The high protein/low volume of New Whey is attractive but not much good if your body cannot absorb the all important protein. The following is the nutrition list for New Whey which strikes me as very carefully worded and that raises some suspicion as well.

Ingredients Pure Carbon Filtered Water, Complete Protein Matrix (DS Proprietary Blend Of Collagen Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate, Casein Protein Isolate), Natural And Artificial Flavors, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Red 40. Contains: Milk Lactose Free Complete Source Of Protein Containing All Essential Amino Acids For A Balanced Diet. All Ingredients Meet Or Exceed Pharmaceutical And U.S. FDA Specifications Where Specifications Are Listed.

Soft fish' date=' scrambled or soft boiled eggs or egg substitutes, tofu, low fat cheese, low fat cottage cheese, soft cooked Beans, string cheese, low fat yogurt (no added sugar), creamy Peanut Butter (or other nut butters), canned chicken, canned tuna, canned salmon. Have you tried the Protein Bars? Pure Protein chocolate Deluxe bars are excellent. Don't forget to chew every bite 20-25 times.[/quote']

I tried the strawberry shortcake and didn't like it. Very high in protein though: )

Tammy, you can get a lot of this stuff on Amazon as well and in some cases at a much better price than the health food stores.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
