Protein Powders at... Whole Foods



Recommended Posts

Ok all. So I've been trying out Proteins, trying to find something to keep me satisfied... discovered at the bigger Whole Foods store here that they have a MASSIVE Protein Powder section. Everything from regular stuff to Vegan stuff to Hemp proteins, etc. And, I found they have the Jay Robb Protein many of you have mentioned on here, and they were in sample sizes. YA! Got chocolate and vanilla. Will try tomorrow and let you know how they go...

Thought those who are looking for "sample sizes" to try a bunch of different proteins might be interested... Oh, and they do have a decent whey Protein that is their Whole Foods brand, not too expensive.

I tried the Jay Robb Egg White sample size from whole food. I don't see anyone talking about those, but they're great. They do not taste bad at all. Have you tried them and are they ok with the doctors? That's the big question. I haven't had surgery yet, I'm schedule for the seminar next month. I guess I'll find out then! I hope it will be fine because if so, I'll be fine! :thumbup:

Hi,

I would say, don't stock up on too much for post-op. Your tastes may really change. When I went to full liquids, I had violent runs for 5 days until I figured out that it was the Whey Protein doing it to me.

I tried the Jarrow brand Rice Protein Powder from Whole Foods this week. It was vile and I was so happy they let me return it yesterday.

I like Jay Robb but haven't tried the egg white Protein as I'm allergic to eggs.

Vitalady.com is from Obesityhelp website. You can go to her website and buy individual sample sizes of lots of different protein powders.

I don't know why they change so much. Sweet things taste so much sweeter. After drinking a Protein Shake (like I just did), I have this sticky sweet taste in my mouth for hours. YUCK.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
