Protein questions - whey isolate vs. ???

....I use Nectar proteins and sometimes Unjury, like em both. But early on in the program, before I knew what I was supposed to and not supposed to eat, I purchased some Designer Whey Protein (French Vanilla)... I think we're supposed to drink the whey protein isolate??? I want to use it to make a banana bread protein drink :-)

and then we also have Six Star Muscle, muscle building milkshake, triple choc fudge, but I don't know if it would be bad thing for me to take that kind....The triple choc fudge one is a protein blend???

I want to use the Six Star Muscle one to make protein balls, but I'm simply out of my Unjury Vanilla and want to make sure the Designer Whey is ok for RNY patients.

thanks

The blends are fine.

The ones you REALLY want to stay away from are collagen protein and brown rice protein.  Those are the worst that we see the most.

ty Andrea - are the fact that the 2nd one is a "muscle builder" and I'm  not doing the weightlifting thing, is that probably not a good idea?

Not a problem.

It's marketing.

I use Designer Whey, Pure Protein, and Six Star Muscle myself...Love them! And my protein levels have been really good lately. My last labs came back good! My surgeon gave me a list of all the good protein products to use and that's what I go by! All that you use and mention are on my list!

And, banana bread protein shake? OH WOW!! Sounds yummo!! How do you make it?

I found it on eggface's blog:

Banana Bread Protein Smoothie

8 oz. water or 4 oz. soy milk/4 oz. water
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1 T. SF Jello Banana Pudding Mix, dry
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
dash Nutmeg
dash Ground Cloves
1/2 Banana, frozen
2-3 Ice Cubes

Place liquid in the blender first, then powder, then additions. Blend on low then high till well blended. Top with another dash of nutmeg.

Thank you! I love her recipes...they are so good!

My nut demands whey isolate for about the first year because it's reportedly the most easily absorbed, and when you're healing and dropping weight very quickly, she feels that's important.

After that - stay away from collagen. There are studies that show that a protein blend (concentrate and isolate mix) keeps you feeling full longer than straight isolate, so I use a lot of that at this point.

not in regard to this post specifically,  but It's amazing how many people recommend so many different things.  I guess I'll triple check w/the doctor's office, cuz I know that's probably where I should have asked the question to begin with.

Thanks all  :-)
