Regardless, it's a necessary evil in this process. Finding protein that you like and in enough flavors is tough though. Today I headed to GNC, not somewhere I would normally go, but I had a gift card. I have to say, it was a trip worth taking. The man who was working there was a plethora of information. Apparently, there are many different kinds of protein. Whey, soy, isolate, weight gain, and vitamin packed proteins are everywhere, but which one is right for people who have had gastric bypass? Well, according to my GNC source, the answer is isolate. It's a type of whey protein that is easily absorbed into your body, where the others, though good are more difficult for your body to take in. GNC carries a number of these products in a vast array of flavors in this protein ranging from chocolate, vanilla and strawberry to cookies and cream, orange and Alpine Punch. So, for those of you sick of the usual flavors who might have an extra buck or two (Or 40) head over to GNC and get a flavor of isolate whey protein that is different and exciting...because I know if I have anymore chocolate ever again, it will be too soon.

Hi Lin, how are things? I'm doing well. I got my staples out on Tuesday, and got butterfly bandages put on. What a relief! I'm starting the stage 4 diet on Tuesday. Ugh....can't wait. I did have a scrambled egg today. Oh my, eggs never tasted so good. Yeah, I'm sick of the protein shakes, too. Lately, I've been doing vanilla with pineapple juice and a small bit of coconut. Very tasty. My favorite brand is Unjury. Sarah likes Chike. After she recommended it, I went online and ordered free samples. You only pay $6.95 shipping & handling. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'll let you know how I like it once it arrives. I'll keep checking the blog. Nice job so far.
