I was told that your body absorbs isolated protein better than any non-isolated
form. So with that in mind, isolated whey or soy works well. Depends on
your personal preference, I think.

I use an isolated soy protein from GNC. I mix a scoop with 8 ounces of water
and voila 25 grams of protein (I use a shaker.) The good thing about GNC is if
you hate the product, take it back and they’ll give you a refund. lol
Personally, I think the vanilla’s a bit sweet to me, so I use the chocolate.
They also have a strawberry and a banana in the kind I use. (Protein 95, I think
it’s called). It’s not badly priced either.
Boy have I taken a lot of products back. I’ve tried designer whey french
vanilla, isopure zero carb strawberries ‘n cream (hideous), some wal-mart brand
(egads…nasty), and various premixed protein drinks.

I feel like I get better value with the shake mixes, instead of the premixed
ones. (They get kind of expensive.)

Best of luck!

Thanks Katie!! That is some very helpful info. By the way what kind of protein
shake did you go for. I prefer fruity as opposed to vanilla. I have not found a
drink yet and also I heard from a friend that there are differerent kinds of
proteins ( whey or soy)out there. Does it make a difference which one I should
take?

I had mine done 3-7-03 and Before I did the surgery I made sure I found a
protein shake I could take. I also workout to make sure I was in the best
shape possible for surgery. I also got all meds and more pillows since it
will be hard to lay down. I also have small children so I made sure that I
had a nanny to take care of them. I also stocked up on sugar-free snacks.
These are just some things I did so I hope they help you out. Take care and
good luck. Also after you have that surgery I think you should look into a
water aerobics class and of course walk.LOL So far, As of today I have lost

29 pounds. Not bad.
