Need protein supplements with stevia



Recommended Posts

I'm going to be banded in 1 week and my doctor has placed me on a Meal Replacement plan. My problem is that I cannot take artificial sweetners because they trigger headaches and sometimes Migraines. Stevia is OK but I have only found one brand with stevia and that is Nectar Naturals. Does anyone else have this problem or suggestions for a Protein supplement?

You might want to go to a Vitamin Shoppe or GNC and ask which brands if any have Stevia. Most are going to have "equal" or maybe slendra.

I ran a quick search on Google: "Protein powder" space stevia and got several hits. One was for the following

Jay Robb chocolate whey Protein powder.

Run a search and see what you find.

Genesis Today sells a Liquid Protein that has steiva. 1oz. has 15 grams of Protein and 60 calories. Some health food stores sell it or you can buy direct from www.genesistoday.com They also sell liquid nultivitamin and Calcium. I have used their products for years.

Maybe try unflavored powder, spruce it up yourself with Stevia and some SF pudding powder in a magic bullet?

Hi, I use a Protein by a company called Intek. I use the Isolate Cookies and Cream and also the Protein Evolution for a flavor change of pace, Orange Creamsicle. Neither of them have sugars. The Evolution actually has additional Vitamins and minerals and really helps with pre and post exercise protein intake. They mix with Water, milk, juice or name your Fluid very well, although with the Water, you need to reduce the 10 ozper scoop recommendation to 8 oz in my opinion or it taste a little thin. I also prefer the water to be really cold. My stomach pre and post surgery has never had any issues with this protein, my wife, banded 2 years ago, always had issues with protein supplements, but has never had any issues with these products. She loves the Creamsicle too.

I get this from Max Muscle, and was buying it for 2 years before I even contemplated having a LAP-BAND. Here is a link to their site if you want more info.

Good Luck, Brian

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
