Vitamins and Protein



Recommended Posts

I could not, once I was banded, eat those nasty Vitamins that were recommended by my nut. Today I went directly to a Vitamin store and purchased Natural Vitality Optimum liquid vitamins. I tried my first dose and they're so much better! Although expensive, they are worth not having to chew vitamins.

I also bought organic hemp Protein in tropical flavor. Has anyone tried the protein that you just add to juice? I could not take another thick gross Protein Shake. Let me know what your thoughts are and if anyone has tried either liquid vitamins or the protein for juice.

I bought those same liquid vitamins yesterday and started taking them this morning. It was so much easier than the chewable vitamins. :)

hi - I already sort of answered in the other topic - but let me know how the organic hemp Protein is!! The stuff I'm using is whey protein so it tends to have an almost milky flavour... but as I said thankfully not that thick yucky stuff - ugh. I had some of those pre-op shakes left, and haven't been able to touch them.

I can't take the liquid vitamins, don't like the taste. I take gummies. They for me are much better. (But to each his/her own)! Glad you fund something you like. Karen

I will definitely be switching to those when I'm no longer on liquids!!

The hemp Protein was so gross!! Would not recommend that at all. my nutritionist suggested a whey protein that I can add to Soup or juice or anything I happen to be eating our drinking. Does anyone know of a good one?

Try unjury unflavored.

Chez, I need to bump up my Protein, if I add Protein powder to food items, does it change the texture like cottage cheese or chicken salad for example?

To me the Gummy ones have a lot of sugar. Has anyone found some that have less than 3g per serving?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
