Yes, absolutely, but there must be a difference in the Protein processing and affect.... I cant imagine they would tell us this for no reason.

You'd be surprised. Just because someone is a doctor, doesn't mean they are correct.
*ALL* whey is sourced from Cow Milk. Whey concentrate and whey isolate are processed differently and Isolate is a much more pure form of the Protein and has most (if not all) lactose removed from it. But, it's all still sourced from the exact same location. The statement of staying away from milk protein, but use whey, is just an incorrect statement from start to finish, that's like saying, Stay away from H2O, make sure to drink DiHydrogen Monoxide. They are the same thing.

I use whey, Soy or Pea during the day, and Casein before bed.

I’m hella picky my husband hates it and I got off Protein Shakes for awhile but I need to get back on them. Best milk chocolate Protein that aren’t gritty for picky butts like my self?I’m also juicing! I’m losing weight still but I’ve got to get better.

Isagenix chocolate -- hands down the best Protein Shake I've ever had and it has 24g. It's not gritty when shaken in a blender ball bottle, but I actually prefer it blended with 8-10 ice cubes and 8-10 oz. Water. The less water you use the more it blends up in the same consistency as a Wendy's frosty. Soy & gluten free. I don't sell it but I love them.

Yes all whey is milk related.

You need rice pea or soy Protein to avoid animals

I'm totally picky too. I can't stand the Premier Protein. What I have found that's the best tasting in the Syntrax Nectar Sweets chocolate Truffle. I just mix a scoop with 1 cup of my skim milk for 31 grams of Protein. It's very smooth and doesn't have that protein after taste. It's kind of spendy but worth it. You can actually buy it in one serving packets for $1.99 to try it first before buying the 2 pound container. Good luck!

I liked both Ensure Max and during the day I put Premiere Protein peach flavored into my iced caffeine-free tea. Just a splash and by the end of the day I've done in one bottle. That is 50g of protein. The rest is easy.

Premier Protein started tasking nasty to me so I tried the Fairlife Core Power Protein Drinks, they don't have any Protein Powder in them, they are literally just milk. but if I need some extra Protein they have 26 grams. They taste like chocolate milk and are really good. I can't stand most protein drinks.

I'm going to recommend legion Protein powder. It's awesome and doesn't have chemicals.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. 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?
      Thanks

      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.

      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.
