I'm going shopping today for my pre op and post op liquid diet. I saw this huge tub of Protein Powder from costco that said 50g Protein per scoop and it was whey protein. Is there a specific kind of protein I'm looking for? What's isolate protein? Help please!

Be careful with proteins! You want low/zero sugar as well as high Protein. Check out Isopure or Syntrax Nectar. I also got a flavorless soy protein to mix in with my Soups as well to make sure I am getting enough in!

A lot of people on here get the costco one but for me it was waay too sweet, and tasted sort of like a really thick melted milkshake from McDonald's. If I were you get samples first before you invest in a tub that you may hate. unjury (unjury.com) and Syntrax nectar (luckyvitamin.com/vitacost.com) both have samples, have 0 carbs, 0 fat, and have an amazing amino acid profile... something that a lot of Protein shakes don't normally have. Isopure is also pretty good. If you are looking to go all natural without artificial ingredients try Jay Robb, who has shakes in whey isolate and Egg white and a variety of flavors.

Last but not least, get a variety of flavors because you will get sick of the same thing all of the time. Syntrax Nectar has over 20 different flavors from Cappuccino, to iced tea, to chocolate truffle, to fuzzy navel...

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
