Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Hope this helps!
Body Fortress is Okay. I got mine at Walmart.
Smartforme.com has some juicelike protein. It was yummy, but if you use a blender to make it make sure you let the air settle out.
I mix all of the proteins with water, I don't need the extra sugar/carbs from mixing with milk. All of the above choices are good this way.
My favorite add in is Orange or Wild Cherry flavoring to Vanilla shakes! Just a couple of drops is all you need!
God Bless!

You can purchase single serving trial sizes in each flavor and see how they taste. They arrived quickly when I ordered them and I believe you could even rush order them if you want.
One thing finally occured to me as I was doubled over with SEVERE abdominal pain this morning - I am allergic to dairy protein. I did mention this to the dude at the store where I bought my stuff & he insisted that I should not react to the whey protein. I looked it up and of course whey protein is from dairy!!!!!!! TWIT! No wonder it tasted so crappy!
Once I expelled the offending terd (if you get my drift) I errupted in a lovely case of hives / rash all over. So, the biggest problem is I can't digest whey protein! I have a thyroid condition which means I can't take soy protein either because it can promote a goiter (enlarged thyroid). Brother.
The syntrax nectar sounds like it might be my only option...
The hunt goes on! :0)
They have so many specialty products that it would be hard to go in and just find what you need right off the bat, better let them take you where you need to go!! Good Luck!!
God Bless!

Good news though! If you can use the whey isolates then there are many!! Again I direct you to check out vitalady.com .
If you really really can't have any whey or soy protein then you must consult with your surgeon about this. If for some reason you can't keep your protein levels up by just food intake then you could have some severe problems after your surgery. You and your Dr. need to decide if this risk is worth taking. with what I read so far on here your surgeon doesn't know about this problem with protein consumption. Talk to your Dr.
God Bless!
