Protein supplements



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have suggestions for a good Protein supplement? I really don't care too much for the vanilla and chocolate shake type. I prefer fruity.

I am loosing very slowly and I think it has alot to do with my protein intake. Will this help or do I need to up my "hard" protein?

Also how much food does your dr. say that you should be eating at a setting? Mine has told me 1/4 cup of food. Does that sound right?

Thanks so much in advance.

I really like the EAS Advantedge carb control strawberries n cream Protein Shakes. 110 calories, 3g of fat, 3g carbs, 0g sugar, and 17g Protein per 11 oz. I'm not convinced that increasing your protein intake will make you lose faster-but it may help you feel fuller longer and that's speaking for solid protein. I don't feel like the Protein Drinks keep me full at all. My doc recommends 1/2 cup of food 3 times a day-no Snacks. 1/4 cup seems like too little.

I really enjoy the nectar brand Protein powders. When they mix with Water they form like a clear juice. I am hooked on the lemon iced tea and the fruit punch.

The Vitamin House here in NM sells them, but I am not sure about GNC. You can buy a sample bag at My bariatric pantry (Bariatric Protein powders from Matrix 5.0, nectar, and Isopure) so you can try the flavors.

Good luck!

I really like the Champion Pure Protein whey stack its soo good. It has 23 grams of Protein per scoop. I get the chocolate one but they have tons of flavors. I've tried most of them. They have a Tropical Sunrise one that taste like orange or a banana and strawberry one.

I ordered samples of each flavor on www.vitalady.com to see which one I liked. The samples are only like $2 so its easy to order without comitting to one flavor. But now that I found the one I like I get the big bottles of them. I alternate between the choclate and Cookies and cream.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
