Looking for Whey Protein Mix recommendations....



Recommended Posts

I,also, like EAS 100% whey Protein. I use the vanilla for the same reason you mentioned, the chocolate would be too overpowering. Also, chocolate and I are not great friends since my lapband. I like to add banana and Peanut Butter to my smoothies, too. Enjoy, I do! Karen(kll724)

Before I spend alot of money on a mix, I am looking for some brand/flavor recommendations. Someone recommended Gold Standard that he got from GNC. I am thinking of sticking with vanilla so I can add other items to it.. I think chocolate might be too fake tasting and I would get sick of it after a while.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

i buy mine at cvs,i get the chocolate flavored and its only 14.99

I started buying Protein Shakes from Market America for their Transitions Diet here is the link for the shakes. http://www.marketame...tion_shakes.htm There really good and don't have that power chalky texture and they fit into the low glycymic with the high Protein for the pre-op and post-op requirements. If you order please put in the shonnee22@yahoo.com refered you. I actually will order both the chocolate and vanilla and mix them together. For 14 servings it is 29.95 which isn't bad at all. This shake when mixed with Skim Milk has 26g of protein.

i bought sample pgs from unjury.com and bariatriceating.com - i like both of them - i'm leaning towards the unflavored - i add it to my Soups - just use a wisk - it really blends it well - for drinks i use a blinding ball (works like a wisk) i like to mix vanilla with coffee and a bit of sugar free caramel Syrup tastes like a caramel machiatto from starbucks - i'm using the Bariatric Advantage (from bariatriceatingcom) Vitamin crystals - mix with 16 oz Water and tastes like lemonade - so today i made a shake with Unjury strawberry sorbet and the vitamin water - it was YUMMY tasted like strawberry lemonade - i thought the Protein Shakes would be the worst thing of this whole process - but now i have several family and friends hooked on them - i just ordered vanilla and unflavored Inspire brand from bariatriceating.com i think that will be my staple - surgery 15 Jun - so still on liquids myself

      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.
