Unflavored protein powder.



Recommended Posts

I am about a week away from starting my liquid diet before surgery. Not sure which unflavored Protein Powder to get. Several people have said the one at GNC and Unjury taste like fish. I could use some help. I would really hate to get a big tub of something and not be able to use it. Can you guys give me some ideas? Others have also said Show me the whey is good.

I just bought a container of Syntrax Medical unflavored Protein and I don't think it has a strong flavor at all. I wouldn't use it in something too bland (like adding it to unflavored yogurt), but in something that's got a good flavor, I can't taste it, and it dissolves instantly, without chunks or grit.

Here's a link where the price is $15.90 plus shipping--which totals out to what I paid for it in a local health/bariatric supply store. http://www.allstarhealth.com/f/syntrax-nectar_medical.htm

The good thing about GNC is if you don't like it, they'll take it back. Keep the receipt. You may have a specific time period, but you'll know after a time or two if you like it or not. I took THREE different ones back. I did learn, unflavored does NOT mean no flavor, it just means it isn't choc, strawberry or vanilla!!! I never did find one I liked, powder or liquid. I ended up using Protein Shots from GNC, did not taste any better, but they're 3.5 oz, much easier for me to get down, a few sips at a time. Hold my nose and rinse my mouth out afterwards, just like a kid taking yucky medicine!! :) Good luck!!!

I've been struggling with Protein powders. They all taste gross to me. They have a nasty smell and pre-taste. I finally found one I like! Isopure low carb dutch chocolate is great! Its not a sweet as most of the others, and not as thick. One scoop mixes in 6 ounces of Water, (I use milk), and has 25g of protein! So if you do 2 scoops, 12 ounces of liquid, its 50g protein! I got mine at GNC.< /p>

Unjury has a Starter Pack -- 2 packets of each flavor. With shipping , it's ~$27

I ordered it & love it!! Not as thick as others & good taste

I've now reordered containers of the ones I really liked

I was told by manager at Vitamin shop to get clear Protein instead of unflavored I haven't tried it yet but he says its much better and has no flavor he also said stock is better than broth -my dietician agreed

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
