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.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
