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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
