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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
