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>

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

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
