Where do you buy your protein powder?



Recommended Posts

Is that thick or thin? I bought some BSN Lean Dessert and it mixes up really, really thick. I'm not liking it.

If it calls for 8oz. of Water, thin it out by using 10oz. Still the same amount of Protein.

On the flip side use 4oz. Water mix in a desert dish, and freeze. You will have a pudding.

Hope this helps.

I buy mine on ebay. I look for MUSCLE MILK LIGHT (any flavor except their chocolate. It's Lousy)

I like their strawberry Milkshake, chocolate Milk, Cookies n Creme, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and vanilla Creme.

I shop around for a decent price. I have a lady that I go through for $5.99, for a 1 1/2Lb. JUG. That is dirt cheap..

I have been emailing her but no response, so she must be on vacation, and I want some strawberry Milkshake.

I guess I'll have to wait till she gets back. She's a good business person too.

Good luck looking, but try some tasty stuff to, not just chocolate. Everyone tells me their sick of Chocolate..

Well I would be too. That's why I mix my selections up.

Shirley.

I have been trying a variety to find a good tasting shake that also has adequate protein; GNC Total Lean Shake is DELISH!! They're on sale- buy 1 get 50% off- plus u get additional 20% off any purchase with their gold card. The strawberries & cream is my favorite. I bought the RTD 1st to test them out. They also have a DietMinder Personal food & fitness Journal that has everything that you need to keep track of- plus its on sale! I am going back to get another one! Once I got home and realized how detailed but still simple it was- I knew I needed another one! Hope this helps.

Not sure if we are allowed to ask this or not but where do you buy your Protein powder from?

I've seen the actual Protein prices and the shipping prices vary so much from website to website.

Do any of you know who is truly the cheapest?

i buy mine at cvs pharmacy for 14.99 a bag,and its pretty good.i get the chocolate flavored

I buy from Netrition.com They have flat rate shipping of 4.95 whether you buy 1 item or 100. I prefer the Syntrax Nectars, but Netrition carries many many brands.

The only times I drink Protein are 1) after a fill 2) after a very strenuous workout 3) sometimes in the AM if I'm too busy to eat real food slowly (then I usually mix it with some greek yogurt and enough Water or crystal lite to make it drinkable).

The band does work best with real, solid, dense Protein. That's why some surgeons don't encourage the Protein drinks for bandsters.

      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.
