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.

      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.
