Protein Powder to fly home with????



Recommended Posts

I am compulsively prepping for my surgery. I am being sleeved on 3/25 by Dr. Aceves and will be traveling alone, my worry is that on the airport days (which will be LONG) I need to be able to get my Protein in still. Any recommendations on powder packets I could get/where I can get them?

I am only taking one bag and don't wanna take a giant tub of protein.

Thank you,

Anna

I have been trying out protein packets to find one that I like....The Jay Robb protein (Whey and egg white) are both available in single serving and both good. I prefer the egg while, but the whey is the best one I've tried so far. I mixed it with 6 oz of Water and it is NOT bad. I added a cap full of vanilla extract and it really made a difference. I haven't tried the choc. only because they were out....I expect it to be even better than the vanilla. The choc. egg white was good....no funky taste at all. I found them at Whole food and at GNC. Good luck Anna!!!!

      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.
