Protein supplement!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi!! I need your help. I'm afraid I'm not getting enough Protein in my diet and would like to know if the clear powder that I've heard about (that you can mix with your food, like Jello, etc) doesn't have a taste? I do not want to buy it if it tastes yucky! I'm not a very good Protein Drink drinker. Please give me suggestions on how to increase my protein intake. I'm 2wks post op and I'm increasing my activity/excersice and need that protein back up. Let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOON!!!!!!!!!! :teeth: :teeth: :sleep THANK YOU!!!!

I HAVE FOUND A Protein DRINK THAT IS REALLY GOOD. IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO WANT TO DRINK MORE AND MORE. I FOUND IT WHEN I WAS DOING A SEARCH FOR Protein Drinks ON THE WEB AND GOT 2 SAMPLE PACKETS FOR NOTHING. IT HAS VERY LITTLE AFTER TASTE IF ANY. HERE'S THE WEB SITE SO YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT. WWW.healthandfitnesshannel.com. I LOVE chocolate AND IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE ME WANT MORE OF IT. IT HAS 22 GRAMS OF PROTEIN IN A SCOOP WITH 4 OZ OF Water.< /em>

I ordered mine on line as the local GNC didn't have it. I got it at MySupplementStore and it arrived within days. I got one case of fruit punch and one of grape. They are sweet, but I put ice cubes in first and let them Water down a bit. They taste just like great fruit juice and are loaded with Protein.

If you are looking for something simply try Carnation Instant Breakfast (no sugar) mixed with ice cubes, a touch of chocolate Syrup or Peanut Butter, and blended well. I use the Magic Bullet and love it, but any blender will do. It's also loaded with Protein.< /p>

It comes down to a choice of milk products or fruit flavored or unflavored protein drinks...your choics. I ran a google on Isopure and that is how I ended up ordering from My Supplement Store.

I alternate, so I get a variety of both the mild and the juices.....

Good Luck

My dietician actually recomends adding a couple tablespoons of dry milk to pudding, yogurt, smoothies, skim milk, or whatever. She says it tastes much better than the Protein supplements and is a heck of a lot cheaper too! It adds about 8 grams of protein per serving.

I blend strawberries and ON (optimal nutrition) vanilla ice cream flavor Protein (two scoops) which gets like 45 grams of Protein in one drink. It tastes great if you like strawberrys with a hint of a milkshake taste.

Or with the same protein mix one or two scoops of it into chocolate high protein slimfast...its' good too.

Hope this helps!

You can go to GNC and get the unflavored Protein and the best thing about GNC is they take back anything you don't like without hassle. You can try as many protein mixes as you like. I like the unflavored, of course. but choc. and vanilla are really good too. I mix the choc. with sugar free hot cocoa or milk, depending on the time of day. The vanilla I mix with sunrise orange crystal light and it tastes like an orange creamsicle. YUMMY YUMMY best of luck to you!

I use the slim fast low carb option drinks. Kind of hard to find here. I don't like other drinks but this on is very tastee to me. It has 20 gr of Protein. I like vanilla best. In fact my husband even drinks these instead of Breakfast sometimes. One a day plus my regular diet does it for me.

Good luck!

      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.
