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.

      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.
