Poll Please: Most Tolerable Bang For Your Buck Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I plan on mixing it with Hood Calorie Countdown milk and whatever else I can think of to mask the taste...lol...suggestions? On the powders and the extra ingredients......

I want to start now before surgery to get use to the Protein routine. I am not a big drinker so I know I've got to work on this before surgery.

By bang for your buck I mean protein grams not $$$ bucks!

Thanks!

I tolerated the Unjury vanilla, which wasn't bad. They also have unflavored which i added different flavored sugar free syrups and sugar free pudding mix to. They have sample packs you can order. I, also liked the Optimum vanilla ice cream powder from GNC. Mixed with 8 oz of skim milk it's 32g of Protein. Both products are very low carbs. I tried the Isopure clear drinks, well, one bottle and just about puked! I, took the other three bottles back to GNC for a refund. But, try and get samples, ask for samples because our taste buds seem to have a mind of their own post op!!! Hope this helps.

i enjoy Syntrax nectar. they are fruity instead of creamy. i like the crystal sky, which is like a blue sweet tart, and fuzzy navel. they are easy to mix with a smaller amount of Water than recommended ( i do 1 scoop 4 oz h20) and take 2 shots. they are about 25g Protein on average. also iforce protean comes in vanilla cupcake batter and red velvet. i haven't tried them, but reviews have been great. i just ordered some.

with the nectar ones, i will also get in an extra serving and mix 1 with my Water for the day and add sweetener to taste. it's a little watered down, but the sweetener helps it to be like lightly flavored koolaid.

I miss Hood Carb Countdown with the Unjury unflavored Protein Powder to make a Protein Drink. i also add a spoonful of Greek Yogurt for extra Protein and creaminess. It is good, so much better than the ready to drink canned drinks.< /p>

Good for you for being proactive about this and not waiting till the last minute. You are going to do great. I like Met-Rx.

Premier Protein at Sams. They are thinner - go down easier with more mellow taste - 30-gms of Protein - and saves the mixing hassle.

Why do you miss it? Did your doc veto them?

I like Matrix. It's made by Sytrax, the same company that makes nectar.

It has the lowest carbs and calories for 25 grams of Protein 120 calories and 3 carbs.

I love the orange cream, the vanilla, and chocolate. I'm going to get banana next. I mix in all different Torini sugar free syrups to jazz up the flavors.

Be careful of buying cheap Protein. Check the source. Different types of protein digest differently, and may be less available to your body.

You can buy soy based protein, rice based protein, etc. Still protein, but lower quality protein per gram. I think these are more popular with vegans.

I make sure it says 3 words: whey PROTEIN ISOLATE.

Love Chike vanilla 28 grams, very smooth & mixes with anything. They have a dynamite iced coffee Protein mix too. But hands down best (for me) is Isopure Zero Carb unflavored with 50 grams in 2 scoops.

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
