"about Time" Whey Isolate Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I ordered a couple sample packs, and was just curious if anyone else had tried these as I haven't really seen anything discussed about them.

Thanks!

I have tried the Cinnamon Swirl. It was "okay", but nothing to really write home about. I'm having a very hard time finding a Protein mix I like and can actually use more than once.

I was using Precision All Natural 100% Protein whey Isolate (Double chocolate Chunk) for several weeks preo-op and a couple of weeks post-op, but I just got so tired of it, it was getting harder and harder to choke it down every morning. It is sweetened with Stevia and not too sweet. The vanilla version of that same brand I found REALLY sweet.

At present I've been drinking the Oh Yeah shakes (ready to drink). They are also too sweet for me, but it's about the best I've found so far.

I desperately want to try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, Syntrax and Costco's Premier shakes, but I am in Canada and can't get the Premier's here. I would have to pay A LOT of money for the Unjury and Syntrax to be shipped here, and I don't want to commit all that money only to find out I can't stomach it!

If I could get a sample of two of each, I would be happy to pay for that and then pay whatever it costs to ship full size amounts, as long as I liked them!

i've been drinking the advanced whey portien, i think its rather good. When i was gonna get the gastric bypass sergury my nurse actually suggested me to drink that. You can add Water with it or milk i perfer the milk though its more tastey :)

I really hate to hear your having such a hard time with your Protein drinks. Even ordering directly from UNJURY it's really expensive to send the sample packs? What about bjsbariatrics.com for the samples of Syntrac nectar?

Thanks for the tip JLewis! I took a look at BJ Bariatrics and I would have loved to order their sample pack! They don't ship outside the U.S. :angry::wacko:

I've tried several of the About Time flavors. You can order a few samples from them fairly cheaply. I personally like them because they are not overly sweet and are not chemical, artifical or Protein tasting. They are 100% natural and not gritty tasting. Lower in calories than most shakes with that amount of protein. My personal favorite is the Mocha Mint, followed by chocolate and strawberry. DO NOT buy the Peanut Butter. It is pure nasty.

It is to me. I think About Time has under 110 for all flavors and the other brand I use frequently has 140.

      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.
