Protein - Brands?



Recommended Posts

I did not try powdered Protein. I drank the premade stuff. Iso-Pure seemed to be the least evil tasting. You can get it at GNC and it is carb free. The Alpine Punch and Grape flavors were better.

Reggers:

The chocolate Sportpharma brand is delicious and has 25 gms of Protein per serving. I bought it at my local grocery store where it costs about .47 a serving. I know it comes in big cannisters so it will probably will be even cheaper. I love the Fruit drinks from protica.com but they are very expensive (almost $2.30 per). They come in a shatter proof pre-measured containers however, so they are easy to travel with. Anyone else have suggestions????

If you like the taste of Protein powder (which I do in milk based drinks like fruit smoothies) I like Puritan Pride's powder. They can be bought online and shipped to you. I haven't tried unflavored yet, I am still waiting to find out about being banded.

Unjury is the best one I've had. Today I picked one up from Kashi Go-lean that isn't too bad. The only reason I'm on liquid protien though is because of DENTAL work!! lol

I second the vote for the Syntrax nectar. I love the Lemonade and the Cappuccino flavors. I've replace my morning latte with a nectar latte - I use a little cream to add fat since I don't believe in low fat eating and the Nectar is fat free. It's wonderful stuff. You can get it at bariatriceating.com or at a store near you. The online store sells sample sizes and a smaller 1 pound container if you're wanting to just try it first.

I LOVE Matrix 5.0 vanilla...I can add cocoa powder, strawberries, sf Reese's pb cups, use orange or grapefruit Crystal Light, etc. It's my favorite Protein powder! :)

I totally recc. trying SOY based Protein powder as opposed to whey. It tastes so much better. Not bitter and chalky. Specifically, the GNC brand protein powder. It's 15$ for a pretty big canister. My only complaint is that it is a little sweet -- not fake sweet - just sweet.

I'm still 4 months away (if the insurance gods approve) from my surgery, but thought I would try some of these Protein Shakes you folks suggest. Have any of you tried Bolthouse Farms "Perfectly Protein? " It's vanilla chai tea with soy protein - 10g of protein per serving. It that good, bad or completely inappropriate for the band? It tastes great, so if it's the right stuff, I'd like to use it.

      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.

        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!
