Where did you get the idea that whey Protein is loaded with chemicals? It is simply the liquid part that separates out from the curd when they make cheese. Yes, some of the flavored shakes and powders may have "chemicals" in them, but whey protein itself does not. If you want to get a super pure product, check out www.mullinswhey.com .

I have used hemp protein as well as pea, egg, rice and sprouted seed protein, and they all have their pros and cons. Personally, I think hemp tastes horrible, egg was so-so, but I like the Spirutein, Raw Fit and Raw Protein products as alternatives to whey. However, I use whey the most because it is the best, most efficiently absorbed form of protein available. (Even better than meat, fish, eggs, soy, etc)

Your not vegan if your eating dairy and white meats. Not even close. You can buy plan unflavored whey Proteins. I buy Isopure unflavored. It's 100% whey isolate with no additives. If you want Hemp Protein I would recommends Bob's Red Mills. Their products are non GMO and organic. Manitoba Hemp Protein is another popular one. I haven't used the Bob's Red Mill powder but I have sampled the Manitoba. It's okay. I find that most plant based protein powders can be a little gritty. If you have a nutra bullet or something similar I would recommend using that to blend your shakes.

I was a vegetarian (not vegan) for like 6 years back in the 90's and you'd be surprised how many people often proclaimed "I'm a vegetarian, too. But I do eat fish." I quit trying to argue.

Being from Wisconsin, I think I might get arrested it I didn't eat dairy. ;). Mmmm.....cheese

That one drives me nuts. Especially since I'm deathly allergic to seafood. Like the time I was literally in the hospital due to an allergic reaction, ordered the vegetarian meal and was brought a giant piece of fish!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
