Protein Powder???



Recommended Posts

I have noticed lately that I have been able to eat a little more before I am satisfied. So today I had a Barium done and the top of my tummy was stretched. NOT A LOT but enough for them to put me on Protein Shakes for 2 weeks!

So my question is what type of Protein Drinks do you prefer? It has to have less then 5 grams of carbs. I picked up a 4 pack of EAS carb control, a 4 pack of Atkins shakes and Jay Robb whey Protein. I looked at the nectar brand and the flavors did not sound good.

So is there any that someone would recommed?

I get mine from GNC. The brand is Optimum Nutrition. I think they taste really good. My favorite is Mint chocolate.< /p>

I use Wheybolic Extreme from GNC...I'm not trying to body build so I only use 1.5 scoops per shake. I like both the Cookies 'n cream and chocolate flavors.

I also actually like the taste of these shakes; they don't have an odor or an aftertaste.

It really is so good! I put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes and let it get a nice frosty chill. I could drink them all day long!

Jay Robb is pretty good. I noticed the other day that muscle milk has come out with about ten flavors in powder form. I did not read the label so I don't know if it meets your criteria. I also used to buy some that were more like crystal light and had a lot of flavors to choose from.

      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.
