petra1124 33 Posted January 21, 2013 Hey guys, I am just starting this journey of getting approved for WLS, but I have been reading that a lot of people advise to get lots of samples of protien shakes before hand to see what you like. Can anyone tell me what is a good way to go about getting samples? Can you just buy individual pakets of protien powder, or one single shake? Can any one recommend a good tasting shake? Any additional info would be great as well Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sue8925 17 Posted January 21, 2013 This is the CVS whey Protein powder (Chocolate). It is delicious and very reasonable. These are some of the ingredientes... Protein Amino Acid Blend Whey Protein Isolate L-Leucine Partially Hydolized whey Protein L-Isolefucine L-Valine Maltodextrin Creatine Monohydrate Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder Nondairy Creamer (Sunflower oil, Corn Syrup solids, Sodium Caseinate, Mono-and Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Lecithin, Tocopheroles) Natrual and Artifical Flavors Guar Gum Cellulose Gum Lecithin Acesulfame Potassium Sucralose Papain Amylase Does this look ok? Also have Vitamin question--are the gummies ok? I also saw a mini mutivitamin, has anyone tried it? I am concerned about getting all the Vitamins down after surgery(I dont like them now) Alos tried the liguid B12, horrible and you need an entire teaspoon.

MrsGina 101 Posted January 21, 2013 My Nut said no, if you read the ingredients there's about half of what you need. I can't find a good chewable so I'm being bad and taking the gummies, post op for first week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
