He likely won't know off the top of his head, get the info from the label.

How many grams of Protein per serving?

How many grams of carb?

How many grams of fat?

What is the source of Protein? Proteins from certain sources are less easily absorbed by our bodies so you don't get the full benefit from the protein.

I like to get Protein powder that gives me the most bang for my caloric buck. 110 calories for 25 grams of whey protein isolate.

No, it's Jay Robb chocolate or strawberry, or orange dreamcicle. I haven't tried his unflavored, but I think it's the same... They're sweetened with stevia, so unless you're used to stevia, you might think they taste weird.

I am not good with milk, shakes, or powdery products. I am so thankful for the Isopure punch flavor drinks. 40 grams of Protein and zero calories. It taste like Gatorade. I do equal ice to the drink and that way I am getting more fluids with the protien drink.

Go to Supplement Superstore.com. I. Their website is a Protein Shake called Level 1, made by 1st Phorm. Look at the nutrition facts, the ingredients... I tell you this stuff is not chalky! If you have the store nearby its $39.99 otherwise $ 59.99 on website... Many flavors too! What I like about this, no gas, no bloating! Got to read the info, ck it out! Sometimes we get what we pay for.... :)

thanks!!! I will look into it. I havbt tried any unflavored yet but I wanted something that I can put in sweets and salts that won't have an overpowering powder/protein taste.

Remember that a gram of Protein is 4 calories. I figure the minimum calories the powder can have and see how many they've added. So don't believe a zero calorie drink can have X amount of protein!

I never knew that. Good to know, thanx!

Isopure is a good one as well... I'm doing all my research now before I get my surgery date... They have drinks and powder. A bit expensive but worth it.. The drinks are about 40g of Proteins and 0 carbs

      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.
