I like Jay Robb's whey Protein Powder in chocolate. No bad after taste and tastes just like Ovaltine to me! Yum!

One of my fav is Chike Protein powder..i think u can only order it online but i am enjoying all of their flavors...choc/van/orange cream/strawberry/banana cream. Even then i mix things up a liitle and make my own flavora like pina colada! I tried the Unjury, GNC, Atkins, dessert lean, oh yeah rtd's (yuck)..so far chike is my top choice!

OMG! I have the wrong Whey Protein! I just know I do! I have purchased from Walmart, the 60g Premium Protein, Whey Protein Elite Series! Has anybody ever used this product? (Maybe the clue that it is probably the wrong product is the 4 muscular men on the front of the container??) It was suggested by the nutritionist that I get Beneprotein, but I can't find it anywhere. Is this stuff gonna kill me?? I also purchased the Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein. Need desperate help on my protein delimina!

I'd like to prepare for my August surgery by trying to make it on two Protein shakes and 1 meal per day which is pretty much what my pre-op diet will look like. I'm getting my lap band through True Results Houston and they gave me samples of their branded powders which are pretty tasty if I doctor them up which I won't be able to do post-op. Anyone have any Protein Powders that they recommend??

Your imput is greatly appreciated.

Happy Sunday!

I like Garden of Life Raw Meal Vanilla Spiced Chai:

Ok, thank you! I have heard of Garden of Life. I am returning my purchases to Wal-mart.

When I got banded, I decided to eat as much organic as possible. It's more expensive, but I really want everything that passes my lips to be non-toxic, non GMO, and as healthy as possible. When I have a treat, it's just a treat and not a disaster :) I've been able to afford organic because I eat less!

Hope you can find a good price on the Garden of Life Raw Meal.

Another product I really like is Metagenics Probiotic (acute care). I have used Garden of Life Probiotics and they are great, but I found the Metagenics one had a much more dramatic impact for me. My surgeon told me there is an ingredient in it that helps with stress (I didn't exactly understand his whole explanation about it, but SO glad I tried the product because it's made a huge difference for me!!!).

Just FYI soy is considered an inflammatory food and has been linked to multiple cancers. I'd say stick with a whey protein!

I dont do soy, either. It messes with hormones, as well.

      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.
