Protien Powder/Drink Samples



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

Look at the beginning of the Protein Powder forum and there is a whole list of places to get samples.< /p>

      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
