Question 1

what is the best unflavored protein powder  after having gastric sleeve? one example gnc whey protein.

Accepted Answer

One of the best...: Hard to say one is the very best, but i advise whey from grass fed-cows not given hormones or antibiotics processed at low temperature so the immunoglobulins ; other  proteins are not denatured. My favorite is whey cool by designs for health: http://www.Rockwellnutrition.Com/p-designs-for-health-whey-cool-vanilla-organic-whey-protein 
also consider hemp protein powder, .
