Brand of protein drinks??



Recommended Posts

Today only GNC has free shipping and 15% off (code Vday15). What is your favorite brand/flavor of protien powder? I'd like to buy some today but I have only had the Jillian Michaels choclate. I do love that mixed with coffe, milk, splenda & SF hazelnut.

So whatis your favorite and how do you prepare it?:smile:

I buy the GNC brand 100% whey in unflavored. I put it in just about everything.

I like the GNC Whey Protein as well. Unjury is my fav, but I don't think you can get it at GNC. nectar is good, Lean Dessert is pretty good too.

Inspire Protein from bariatriceating.com is THE BEST. I like the Dutch chocolate Cake and Peanut Butter Cookie flavors the best. The chocolate, I like prepared with warmed almond milk. The PB is great blended with Water & ice, but also good warm. I am sure the other flavors (there are lots) are wonderful.

Oh--and their PURE unflavored Protein is excellent, too. It really does blend into foods without a telltale protein-y taste/smell. I use it to bump up protein in Soups, etc.

Whoops--sorry. I didn't read far enough to see you were sticking with GNC.

I order mine on auto delivery with bariatric advantage- pro Joe made with real coffee, 120 calories, 5g carb and 20g Protein. And the bottles are really cute also. People can[t really tell what your drinking. It looks like a frapachino bottle

From GNC I get their brand in banana Creme and Cookies and Cream. From Bariatriceating.com I get the summer melon, the Peanut Butter cookie and the chocolate peanut butter fudge. I also get regular old Chocolate and Vanilla from Walmart. I also drink an Atkins Mocha Latte every morning when I first wake up, I actually put it on my nightstand the night before, so I wake up, shake up and start drinking.

Then once I am moving around I make a mocha latte using 1 scoop of Vanilla Protein and a sleeve of Mazel, with 4 oz of Water. Later during the day I have a scoop of summer melon mixed with 4 oz of sugar free Watermelon/cherry or Watermelon/Kiwi Koolaid. At night before bed I have a protein smoothie made with 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt, a scoop of a flavor usually banana, 1/3 cup of frozen banana/strawberry slices and 1 cup almond milk.

During the day I also have protein in my 2 meals I actually eat.

I really like the PURE Protein Shakes in cans at GNC. It's got 35g of Protein. They come in all types of flavors, Cookies and cream is my favorite.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
