100% Whey protein - is that the only kind we can have?
My hubby and I both had WLS. He had the RNY and I had the Sleeve. I go on the RNY forum along with the sleeve forum on a regular basis. Ive read many times on the RNY forum that they need to have 100% Whey Protein because it is what they absorb best.
Is that true for us who are sleeved as well or can we have any kind of protein? I ask because Ive been having issues finding a protein shake that I like. The other day I picked up some GNC Pro Performance Lean Muscle Meal and it was AWESOME! The only thing is that it isnt 100% Whey Protein. Will this be ok for my protein shake? It has 25 grams of protein per drink.
Here are the first ingredients
Other Ingredients: Filtered Water, diafiltered skim milk, Proprietary Protein Blend (Milk Protein Concentrate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Calcium Caseinate),

I've read several times to skip casein as a protein source. I understand about having a tough time getting a protein that works for you. I think you have to just keep trying. The two I can tolerate are Premier ready to drink chocolate from Costco and Optimum Nutrition 100% whey vanilla ice cream. I use the vanilla everyday mixed with water and a little diluted orange juice. The chocolate is once in a while as I can only stand to drink half at a time.
