there's a ton of topics on protein BUT...

I've noticed by going into stores and comparing Protein that an Isolate has the same amount of protein but fewer everything else, such as carbs, cals, sugars, etc. Are we able to use an isolate? Is yes, great! If no, how come?

The isolates cost more, but for bariatric surgery patients, they are probably worth it. We don't have the option of just eating more to make up any deficit. Everything we eat should have the best benefit to calorie ratio possible.

The ones I found in-store are the same price as the regular Protein ($20) ???? Maybe you can check them out as well! I was browsing in Walmart today and they have Six Star Protein isolate in a few flavors (3 I think?). I know there's chocolate and French vanilla cream...i cant remember if I seen strawberry.

Believe it or not, I've only been in a Walmart when traveling. There is a newish one about 20 miles from my town, but I've never been to it. I usually go to costco.< /p>

We don't have a costco but I wish we did. I've noticed a lot of members say its a good place to get things we need. We have a same club but its roughly 30 miles away ????

Protein isolate is the preferred choice, it is more completely absorbed than protein concentrate.

Yes the isolate is better it's more expensive but dissolves better etc I didn't care at the time cuz I couldn't choke it down so I got the GENEPRO unflavored and mixed in with hot tea broth Soup cottage cheese pudding dissolve with a bit of Water those before adding to hot liquid or it clumps it was all I could tolerate
