Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

Hi all. Ready to buy another jar of P.P. First one was Wal-Mart wey Protein (chocolate peanut butter). Anyone know if Wal-Mart or Sams carries something in a tasteless flavor? I figure that way I could mix it into more varities of food. Looked at WM, didnt find anything there but flavors. thanks :)

I know you can go to unjury.com and get unflavored Protein there. They also have chicken broth protein, which to me was really good the first couple of times I had it, then the smell turned me off. Has an egg smell..and not a good one. Just my experience though. Hope that helps!!

I have recently tried unjury and am a huge fan. I purchased a few of the single serves to try and the unflavored it good as well I really like the strawberry sorbet. I have tried the strawberry with oj and love it, drink it in the morning on the way to work.

Another brand I recently tried was abouttime - website tryabouttime.com and they as well have single servings you can buy and try before buying a jug.

Thanks everyone for replies. I bought vanilla wey Protein at WM. should be more compatible with more mixes than chocolate. variety is the key. I know my local health/nutrition stores are really high priced! :( thanks:)

Ah protein! I bought the bag of Bariatric Advantage in chocolate because the single serves were great. I opened the bag yesterday and oh my goodness! There is a horrible strawberry taste to it. I called the Dr's office and asked them if anyone has called with concerns and I was the first. Now I need to find another kind. I can't take the taste.

Any suggestions?

I use EAS vanilla whey Protein Powder. I haven't tried anything else...Target has the best price for it.

I tried the Unjury unflavored - based on recommendations here, thank you - and just love it. I can put the unflavored in just about anything.... except Jello. DON'T put this stuff in jello! LOL I also have the chocolate Splendor shake mix but it's a tad too sweet for me. Still like the chocolate Body Fortress Whey from Walmart best. The chicken Soup from Unjury is very good, too.

I've been using Jay Robb, and I really like the taste. It comes in several flavors that I know of for sure, and have tried: chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. I like the vanilla the best. I make my vanilla shake up with 1 1/3 scoop, ice, a cup of milk, and a tablespoon of Peanut Butter, then blend well. This is great with a handful of fresh or frozen berries as well (minus the Peanut Butter of course,) It comes in at about 40g of Protein, and tastes great. Spirutein, and Syntrax Necters are pretty good too. I got the Cookies and Cream Syntrax, and it's got a pretty good flavor, especially if you like malts. I've found these at health food stores and Whole Foods. You can also order online from Amazon.< /p>

FWIW, my nutritionist said not to eat more than 40g of Protein per meal, because that's the maximum your body can absorb and process at a time. She also said to get protein in every four hours, or your body begins to go into fasting mode, and will begin to use your lean muscle mass for energy, rather than fat stores.

      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.
